# John Shipley: Shipley argues that Anton Harrison's season-ending ACL injury reshuffles the Jaguars' offensive line: Daniel Faalele becomes the eighth lineman and will be active but not a starter, Walker Little takes over as starting left tackle, Patrick Mekari returns from IR as the swing tackle depth option, and Wyatt Milum is now a snap away from being the starting right tackle. They also suggest Harrison's contract situation with Jacksonville is now clouded heading into 2027.

5 checkable claims — 2 availability calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.

> Milum went from a luxury player to a critical part of the depth chart now that Harrison is sidelined for the rest of 2026.

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
