Two Ejections on Opening Kickoff of Eagles-Jaguars Game in London
The touchdown was wiped out by offsetting penalties, and the Eagles’ Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jaguars’ Bryan Thomas Jr. were ejected after the play.
- On Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Josh Cameron returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, but offsetting penalties nullified the score and led to two player ejections.
- Holding by Jaguars linebacker Branson Combs and illegal formation by the Eagles created offsetting penalties that wiped out Cameron's return, forcing officials to order a complete redo of the opening kickoff.
- During the return, Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. and Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. scuffled near midfield for 15 yards before both were ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- After the restart, the Jaguars endured an unproductive opening possession marked by penalties and a fumble, ultimately punting and giving Philadelphia favorable field position.
- These ejections mark a rare occurrence in London NFL games; analysts noted Trotter's loss impacts Philadelphia's linebacker rotation more significantly than Thomas's absence affects Jacksonville.
