He was surrounded by teammates while he was down on the field and was eventually taken to the locker room via a cart. He will undergo further tests today.Coach Liam Coen and multiple players have said Hamilton has been the key to the Jaguars' top-ranked run defense. He has 16 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a half sack over seven games."There's not many better humans, better competitors, team guys," Coen said of Hamilton after Sunday's game. "You should have saw D-Ham this week in practice. His leadership [with the] defensive line, individual periods this week, just the human, the competitor. I can't say enough about him."When he's out there laying down and he's reassuring me. That's who he is. He's reassuring me, and has a smile on his face, actually. He trusts God. He trusts himself. He trusts life. He's just one of those types of people. Tough to see that, obviously."Hamilton is in the final season of a three-year, $34.5 million contract extension he signed in April 2023.
