JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Third-year receiver Rueben Randle was benched for the first quarter of Sunday’s 25-24 loss to the Jaguars after he arrived late to a team meeting on Friday.

“It was a schedule change and I just forgot about it,’’ Randle said.

Coach Tom Coughlin did not reveal what Randle did to get punished, saying, “That’s between me and Randle.’’

Randle said Sean Ryan, the receivers coach, informed him he would not be playing in the first quarter. As Randle watched from the sideline, holding his gloves in his hands, Preston Parker took his place in the starting lineup alongside Odell Beckham Jr. Kevin Ogletree and then Corey Washington got on the field. The benching lasted only one quarter, as Randle was on the field for the Giants’ first offensive series of the second quarter.

“You make a mistake, you man up and move on,’’ said Randle, who caught three passes for 52 yards.

The battered offensive line lost two more players. RT Geoff Schwartz, playing in his second game of the season after coming off short-term IR with a dislocated right big toe, got his left leg rolled up with 5:09 remaining in the first quarter blocking on a Rashad Jennings 2-yard run. Schwartz had to be carted off with a sprained left ankle and was replaced by James Brewer. X-rays were negative on Schwartz’ ankle but Coughlin said there is some tendon damage and Schwartz left the locker room in a walking boot and on crutches.

“I don’t know what else to say, I’ve never been hurt before like this, twice in one year,’’ Schwartz said.

Brewer was forced out in the fourth quarter with a concussion, leaving the Giants to scramble. They put right guard John Jerry at right tackle and Dallas Reynolds came off the bench to play right guard.

CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was not on the field on the final drive because he hurt his right shoulder.

“I didn’t want to put us in jeopardy if I knew I couldn’t tackle,’’ DRC said.

DE Robert Ayers left with a pectoral injury — if it’s torn his season is over. … The Giants had a season-high seven sacks of Blake Bortles. … Jennings could not finish the game because of a sprained ankle. “We tried everything, I just couldn’t press so they decided to hold me out,’’ Jennings said.

The Jaguars scored two defensive touchdowns in one game for the first time in their 19-year history. … Rookie LB Devon Kennard got his first two NFL sacks. Rookie DE Kerry Wynn, in his NFL debut, notched his first sack, teaming with Jason Pierre-Pau l in the third quarter. It was the first sack for JPP in five games. … CB Jayron Hosley was inactive, which is quite a fall for a player who inherited the nickel-back role after Walter Thurmond was lost for the season in the second game.
