Coen on Wednesday for the second time in three days emphasized his support of Washington, a third-year receiver who led the team with 5 receptions for 76 yards against the Bengals.
“I have not lost any confidence in Parker by any means; stuff happens,” Coen said of Washington, who caught 4 passes for 34 yards against the Texans in addition to the 2 drops. “It’s not obviously something that we’re excited about in the moment, but he takes a lot of responsibility and accountability. He works his tail off every single day.
“He literally had his best week of practice last week as a Jag since we’ve been here. So, there’s a lot of confidence. The message to him is, ‘Dude, like we got to just move forward, you’re putting some really good stuff on tape, you’re practicing, you’re doing all the right things. Those things will come and hopefully that was just a one off.'”
