Meyer added that Carolina - which lost rookie cornerback Jaycee Horn to an injury Sunday – was aggressive pursuing Henderson, who will be replaced in the lineup by Campbell. The Jaguars selected Campbell No. 33 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and he started against Arizona Sunday.
"I saw Tyson as a young cornerback, as a rookie cornerback, do some great stuff yesterday – do some good things yesterday," Jaguars safety and captain Rayshawn Jenkins said. "There is always a learning curve with rookies. I don't know of one rookie that I've played with that didn't have a learning curve. He has some things to fix, but I do like what he brings to the table."
Meyer called Campbell perhaps the No. 1 factor in the decision to trade Henderson.
"He's starting to perform where we expected him to be," Meyer said.
Monday's trade leaves Griffin and Campbell as the starting cornerbacks, with Chris Claybrooks and Nevin Lawson also active Sunday. Meyer said following Sunday's loss that veteran Tre Herndon should play Thursday after missing the first three games with a medial collateral ligament injury.
"I wouldn't say we were too shaken up," Jenkins said. "I feel like we have everybody we need. CJ was a good player. I know he's going to go there and make an immediate impact. I wish him the best."
ETC., ETC.
Meyer said the Jaguars planned to work out two kickers Monday. Kicker Josh Lambo, after missing his first three field goals in Weeks 1 and 2, missed two of three extra points Sunday. "He's as hard a working – if not the hardest-working – specialist I've ever had, but there's also a reality that you've got to make kicks," Meyer said of Lambo. "Nothing about attitude, nothing about work ethic, but reality is the ball has to go through the uprights."
… Griffin said he covered Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins throughout Sunday's loss, marking the first time in five NFL seasons he "followed" a team's No. 1 receiver and covered him the entire game. "It was definitely different," he said, adding with a laugh: "It was a lot easier to study than studying multiple receivers."
… Right tackle Jawaan Taylor said the Jaguars' offensive line played its assignments as assigned on a third-quarter flea-flicker that changed the game's momentum Sunday. Left guard Andrew Norwell spun shortly after the snap, with Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt getting pressure up the middle on quarterback Trevor Lawrence and forcing an interception that Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. returned 29 yards for the touchdown that gave Arizona a 24-19 lead. "It's called a whirlybird," Taylor said. "Usually, the whole line is just zone trying to sell the run on the first side, then the back side has to get around to the end and scrape off the edge on the back and try to get the quarterback some protection on the back side." As for Watt disrupting the play, Taylor said: "When you're zoning like, J.J. Watt doesn't really take on contact in the run game. When he felt the run, he usually tries to jump around you or go the opposite direction. That's just J.J. being J.J."
