JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking the first step, albeit a small one, toward fixing their problems.
Coach Jack Del Rio says he will work out punters Tuesday, two days after Matt Turk’s 22-yarder helped the Cincinnati Bengals hand the Jaguars a fourth consecutive loss. Del Rio says no decision has been made on Turk’s future.
Turk also had punts of 32 and 23 yards in the second half of Sunday’s 30-20 loss. He raised his arms to mock fans who booed him after one of his poor punts.
Turk, who ranks near the bottom of the league in gross and net punting, was only part of Jacksonville’s problems. But he could be the scapegoat for a game the Jaguars (1-4) controlled much of the day.
Jacksonville plays at Pittsburgh Sunday.
