Anton Harrison Facing Arthroscopic Knee Surgery; Jaguars OT Timeline TBD

Jaguars offensive tackle Anton Harrison has a knee injury expected to require arthroscopic surgery, per Ian Rapoport. The surgery has not yet been confirmed as performed, and critically, the specific procedure has not been publicly disclosed — and that matters enormously for the timeline.

Arthroscopic knee procedures span a wide clinical spectrum. On the shorter end, a meniscal partial resection (meniscectomy) typically carries a 4–8 week return-to-play window. A meniscal repair, which preserves more tissue but demands a longer healing period, runs closer to 4–6 months. Cartilage procedures (osteochondral work, microfracture, or grafting) sit at the far end, with timelines of 6–18 months and high variability even within that range. Until the procedure type is confirmed, the RTP window is genuinely wide — this is not a case where hedging is excessive caution; it reflects real clinical uncertainty.

The injury is confirmed by team reporting; the severity grade is inferred from the surgical recommendation rather than confirmed by publicly disclosed imaging. Harrison is two days out from the confirmed injury date of October 11. Any pre-surgical RTP estimate is provisional and will be superseded once the procedure is confirmed. The driving unknown is what they find and fix inside that knee — that's what sets the clock.

This is a situation worth watching closely. A procedure confirmation in the coming days will substantially narrow the range. Until then, the full spectrum from 4 weeks to 6-plus months remains on the table.
