Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut claims Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke threatened to kill him during Sunday's game in Nashville.

Early in the fourth quarter of the Jaguars' 25-3 win, Chestnut delivered a block to Cooke during a punt return. Cooke was shaken up on the play and evaluated for a concussion before returning to the game.

Things became heated as the two players squared off again following another punt return with 11:49 remaining.

"He said he would kill me," Chestnut said of his interaction with Cooke. "That's what he said. He came up to me and said he'd kill me. Never heard that one before. That was strange. Especially a punter, you know. It was strange."

Cooke was not asked about his alleged remarks after the game.

Cooke, 30, is in his eighth season with the Jaguars, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2018. He made his first Pro Bowl last season.

Chestnut, 25, is in his fourth season with the Titans after going undrafted in 2022. He has rushed for 39 yards on 10 carries in 12 games (no starts) this season.
