Quick Summary

Former Broncos and Raiders long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer received an unexpected call while on a camping trip in Colorado, needing him to join the Jacksonville Jaguars for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans in London. Upon getting the message from his agent, he rushed home, hoping his passport was still where he had last stashed it—inside a bathroom drawer. The 29-year-old, who has played in 97 NFL games across six seasons with Denver and Las Vegas, expressed relief at having kept up his training despite being unsigned for the current season, which ultimately led to this opportunity.

Story summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars recently faced an unexpected issue with their long snapper, prompting them to urgently call upon former NFL player Jacob Bobenmoyer while he was camping in Colorado. On October 16, 2026, Bobenmoyer had to abruptly end his trip and rush home to ensure he could travel internationally for the team's upcoming game against the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium in London. Previously, the Jaguars experienced difficulties when their regular long snapper, Ross Matiscik, was injured, forcing defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton to fill in temporarily during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, resulting in mixed performance and notably a failed extra point attempt due to an unusually high snap.
