The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to be without defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton for the rest of the season.
Hamilton suffered an injury in Sunday's win against the Colts that required him to be carted off the field. According to Ian Rapoport, Hamilton suffered a torn quad.
"He's expected to be out for the season," Rapoport posted on X.
Rapoport added that Hamilton will undergo additional tests on Monday.

Losing Hamilton now leaves a massive void in the middle of the Jacksonville defense. Hamilton plays
a vital role in the Jaguars' stingy run defense. Even on plays where he doesn't show up on the stat sheet, his ability to eat up space and take on blocks frees up other defenders to make plays.
Hamilton is also one of the leaders of this Jaguars team.
"He's out there laying down and he's reassuring me," Liam Coen said of Hamilton after the game. "That's who he is. He 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. It's tough to see that, obviously. Really tough. We have to evaluate what it truly is."
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said that, "The belief in league circles is Jacksonville has been looking for interior DL help at the deadline. That need only amplifies with Hamilton out."
Here are four potential trade targets for the Jaguars with Hamilton sidelined.
