NFL News: Jaguars punter faces surprising allegations

NEWYou can now listen to PK Press Club articles!

Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke has been accused of making a vile remark toward a Tennessee Titans player on Sunday during their heated game Sunday afternoon.

Titans running back Julius Chestnut said Cooke threatened him in the fourth quarter. He blocked Cooke when the punter had a head start to trip Chimere punt returner Dike at the end of a 47-yard return with 14:06 left in the game. Cooke was injured and evaluated for a concussion before returning for a punt later in the quarter.

Players from both teams found themselves in another brawl at the end of another Dike putback with 11:49 to play. This led to Chestnut and Cooke having an incident. Cooke was among those who received a penalty for unnecessary roughness. Titans safety Mike Brown was ejected.

“I was just trying to play hard, and he came up to me and told me he was going to kill me,” Chestnut said after the game. “So I don’t know what made him do that.”

Chestnut said he never had an explanation for why Cooke was angry with him.

“It surprised me. I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Chestnut said.

Cooke was not asked specifically about his passionate moment with Chestnut. He said that after the match he liked to hit people and that Chestnut got the better of him during the “hectic” match.

JAGUARS PLAYERS SEPARATE COACH LIAM COEN FROM 49ERS ASSISTANT ROBERT SALEH AFTER THE GAME

The punter said he spoke to an official after punting from his own end zone in the second quarter.

“I might have said some things that seemed rude, so I wanted to clear things up,” Cooke said of his conversation with the referee. “I don’t like people to hold grudges against me. So I tell him the situation and also get his perspective on what happened on that play in the end zone.”

On Monday, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen denied Chestnut’s request.

“I’ve probably heard that said about 100 times, you know, from players at games,” he said, via the Florida Times-Union. “So I don’t know what made him do that.”

Cooke, a Pro Bowler last season, has been with the Jaguars for eight years. Jacksonville selected him in the seventh round of the 2018 draft.

Chestnut joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He spent most of his career on the special teams unit.

The fight between Cooke and Chestnut was not the only incident of the match. Titans linebacker Arden Key got into the game with Jaguars offensive lineman Anton Harrison after a hit on Trevor Lawrence.
