In fact, he is the <a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/position\/center\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second<\/a> highest paid center in the National Football League.<\/p>\n<p>Linder is the centerpiece of the Jaguars offensive line. The line has struggled this year.\u00a0 In week two, left tackle <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RobiCa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cam Robinson<\/a><\/strong> tore his ACL. The left tackle position has been a rotation since then. Now someone will have to fill some big shoes. The team has already announced that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/ShatTy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Shatley<\/a><\/strong> will be the starting center in his place. Shatley will obviously have his work cut out for him.<\/p>\n<p>Linder is not only the centerpiece of the line. He is also the most tenured starter on the offensive line. Linder was drafted by the Jaguars in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft. The 6&#8217;6&#8243;, 320-pound lineman went to the University of Miami and is impressive. Linder had the highest grade for an offensive lineman for a single game in 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballfocus.com\/news\/pro-brandon-linder-had-the-highest-graded-game-by-an-offensive-lineman-in-the-2017-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to Pro Football Focus. But even besides the fact that Linder is a great player, there is another reason he will be missed. Center is a very important position. Linder and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BortBl00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blake Bortles<\/a><\/strong> have built chemistry over their time together on the team. But now Shatley will be snapping the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Shatley has seen action for the Jaguars in a few different areas but now he must be the center for the rest of the season. Here&#8217;s to wishing Linder a speedy recovery and Shatley good luck in relief.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"VYGKhQcVRD5fLMU3geQxZA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1044377888\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'VYGKhQcVRD5fLMU3geQxZA',sig:'AyZ4KQaQ8DCsZiHGDZy_VZAm8LCdUmz2G-n96Baseic=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1044377888',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Linder, the Jacksonville Jaguars center, is out for the season.
