**Jaguars Punter Logan Cooke Accused of Threatening Titans Player**
Logan Cooke, the punter for the Jacksonville Jaguars, faced accusations of making a threatening remark towards Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut during a heated game on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter when Chestnut blocked Cooke as he attempted to trip punt returner Chimere Dike following a 47-yard return. Cooke sustained an injury and was evaluated for a concussion but returned to the field later in the quarter.
Tensions escalated further when players from both teams clashed after another Dike return, leading to a confrontation between Cooke and Chestnut. Cooke received a penalty for unnecessary roughness, while Titans safety Mike Brown was ejected from the game.
Chestnut recounted the incident, stating, “I was just trying to play hard, and he came up to me and said he was going to kill me. So I don’t know what made him do that.” He expressed surprise at Cooke’s aggressive comment, noting that he had never experienced anything like it before.
While Cooke did not specifically address the altercation with Chestnut, he mentioned enjoying physical play and acknowledged that Chestnut had the upper hand during the “eventful” game. After punting from his own end zone in the second quarter, Cooke spoke with an official to clarify his earlier comments, stating, “I might have said some things that sounded rude, so I wanted to go clear the air.”
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen dismissed Chestnut’s claims, suggesting that such remarks are not uncommon in the heat of competition. “I’ve probably heard that said like 100 times, you know, from players in games,” he remarked.
Cooke, a Pro Bowler last season, has been with the Jaguars since being drafted in the seventh round in 2018. Chestnut, who joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2022, has primarily contributed on special teams.
The game concluded with the Jaguars securing a decisive 25-3 victory over the Titans.
