The Jacksonville Jaguars filed a motion Wednesday to get former kicker Josh Lambo’s lawsuit against the organization thrown out.

In court documents obtained by The Athletic’s Daniel Kaplan, the Jaguars said in their motion to dismiss that Lambo didn’t reply to them for a follow-up after his agent reported that former head coach Urban Meyer kicked his client.

“Club’s legal counsel ‘acknowledged and responded immediately to the query made by Lambo’s agent,'” the motion states. “Plaintiff does not allege he or his agent ever responded to the inquiry made by Club’s legal counsel offering to follow up with Plaintiff, with Mr. Meyer and/or with Club management.”

Lambo filed his lawsuit against the Jaguars in May, saying that the organization and Meyer created a hostile work environment. He is seeking his full salary from the 2021 season ($3.5 million), plus additional damages for emotional distress.

The lawsuit came after Lambo told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times in December that Meyer kicked him in the leg prior to a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

“I’m in a lunge position. Left leg forward, right leg back,” Lambo said. “Urban Meyer, while I’m in that stretch position, comes up to me and says, ‘Hey Dips–t, make your f–king kicks!’ And kicks me in the leg.”
