Jake Elliott took a shot and then showed off his toughness in the Eagles’ 29-21 win over the Jaguars.
On Sunday, Jacksonville gifted the Eagles a first down after Jake Elliott had his legs taken out from beneath him which caused him to land hard.
Elliott drilled a 43-yard kick in the third quarter to extend the Eagles’ lead but was hit hard by cornerback Tyson Campbell, who was flagged for roughing the kicker.
As the Eagles’ offense failed to get in the end zone to start the fourth quarter, Elliott had to hobble back out on the field and attempt a 28-yard field goal.
Before that, however, he was seen on the sidelines popping pills.

After the game, Elliott said he felt “good” but acknowledged he still needed to get checked out.
