Former Syracuse football player Andre Cisco left the Jacksonville Jaguars game with an injury on Sunday.
Cisco, a free safety for the Jags, recorded three solo tackles before exiting the field with a groin injury in the second half. He was listed as questionable, but did not return in the 27-31 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Cisco also briefly last last week’s game with a shoulder injury, but quickly returned to action against the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football.” He also suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 that caused him to miss a game, but has otherwise impressed in his second year as a starter.
Cisco, 23, was an ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year at Syracuse University and drafted by Jacksonville in the 2021 NFL Draft. He recorded 73 total tackles, three interceptions and a touchdown last year. So far this season, he has 56 total tackles and three interceptions (including one that prompted a celebration dance to Sisqo’s “Thong Song”).
Sports Illustrated reports Cisco was named to ESPN’s All-Under 24 team last month. He was named a second-team safety and the only Jaguars player to be honored.
“Cisco has the ball-hawking traits with the deep-field range to make plays from the post- or split-field alignments,”
Jacksonville has not said if Cisco will be available to return next week. The Jaguars are currently No. 1 in the AFC South with an 8-5 record as they next host the Baltimore Ravens on “Sunday Night Football.”
