Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said WR Ace Sanders may not participate in offseason workouts until next month because he is dealing with abdomen and hip injuries.
Huddle Up: With Jacksonville's receiving corps wide open after Cecil Shorts, it's a blow to Sanders' chances to contribute immediately if he misses out on these opportunities to pick up the offense.
Chad Henne - QB
Posted 5/15/13 1:03pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars QBs Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne are splitting first-team reps evenly in OTAs.
Huddle Up: There's not much to like about the Jacksonville quarterback situation from a fantasy perspective, but it's worth keeping an eye on to know who'll be throwing to Cecil Shorts.
Justin Blackmon - WR
Posted 5/14/13 1:19pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon has met with head coach Gus
Bradley and general manager David Caldwell after getting suspended
for the first four games of the 2013 season. Blackmon has been a
student in the team's facility since the suspension, and the team
still believes in him.
Huddle Up: Blackmon, the fifth-overall pick in the 2012 draft, tied the Titans'
Kendall Wright for the lead in rookie receptions (64) this past
season and led all first-year pass catchers with 865 yards. But his
off-field issues -- most of them involving some form of substance
abuse -- are currently a career hindrance for Blackmon and yet
another hurdle for the Jags' already-shaky QB situation.
Jordan Rodgers - QB
Posted 5/14/13 11:27pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Jordan Rodgers underwent sports hernia surgery Tuesday, May 14, and will be out until the beginning of training camp.
Huddle Up: Tough break for Aaron Rodgers' little bro who will miss some valuable OTA time in his quest to catch on as an undrafted rookie free agent.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 5/13/13 3:24pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew said he is making progress in his rehab from foot surgery. He was able to run at 75 percent Monday, May 13.
Huddle Up: Let's see MoJo get back to 100 percent before we start considering him anything but a shell of his former fantasy self. Eliminating the possibility of a holdout over the same contract Jones-Drew walked out on last season would also be a plus, but we'll worry about the health thing first.
Jalen Parmele - RB
Posted 5/9/13 12:54am et
The Tennessee Titans have signed free-agent RB Jalen Parmele. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Parmele will battle Shonn Greene for Chris Johnson's leftovers, which doesn't exactly smack of fantasy value.
Greg Jones - RB
Posted 5/8/13 12:12am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster said he is thankful the team brought
back FB Greg Jones. "He's gonna help us out," Foster said.
Huddle Up: With the departure of James Casey, the Texans were looking for a FB
for the second time in 3 offseasons, and they found one within the
AFC South, luring Jones away from the Jags. If you're expecting some
sort of fantasy production out of Jones, don't, as he's logged only
15 carries over the past 5 seasons after compiling 255 in his first
3 seasons.
Denard Robinson - RB
Posted 5/4/13 11:05am et
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Denard Robinson made his debut Friday, May 3, at the team's rookie minicamp. He showed his speed and versatility, taking a majority of his repetitions with the first-team offense. He lined up in the backfield and at receiver during the two-hour practice.
Huddle Up: It will be interesting to see how the Jaguars opt to use the athletic Robinson. With Justin Blackmon down for the first four games of the season there will be opportunities at receiver, and with Maurice Jones-Drew coming off a foot injury and still unhappy with his contract there could be backfield touches to be had as well.
Justin Blackmon - WR
Posted 5/1/13 2:18am et
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon has been suspended four games by the NFL. Blackmon admitted he made a mistake. "I've made a mistake and I have no excuse. I am sorry & disappointed in myself for putting the Jaguars in this situation."
Huddle Up: That situation will cost Blackmon the first month of the 2013 season and could very well cost him a roster spot in Jacksonville. That leaves Cecil Shorts as the Jaguars' primary receiver for at least the first four games of the season.
Chad Henne - QB
Posted 4/18/13 5:18pm et
QB Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said there is no favorite between QBs Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne in the team's quarterback competition. 'We have two guys competing as hard as they possibly can to put themselves in position to be the starting quarterback,' Fisch said.
Huddle Up: With Henne and Gabbert having struggled so far in their brief NFL careers, don't be surprised if the Jags add another young arm to the mix by drafting a QB fairly high.
Chad Henne - QB
Posted 4/17/13 2:54pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said QBs Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne are rotating snaps during offseason workouts so they can both receive time with the starting offense.
Huddle Up: Jacksonville's new staff needs to gauge its quarterback situation prior to draft day, so getting both Gabbert and Henne snaps makes sense.
Rashad Jennings - RB
Posted 4/12/13 2:17pm et
Oakland Raiders RB Rashad Jennings received a one-year, $630,000 deal with a split salary.
Huddle Up: Jennings moves from backing up Maurice Jones-Drew to backing up Darren McFadden. Both situations provide opportunity; Jennings' recent performance suggest he's not especially capable of capitalizing.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 4/12/13 2:17pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said the team will not trade RB Maurice Jones-Drew and will assess his contract situation after the season.
Huddle Up: After the season? Yeah, that's gonna sit well with a guy who held out last year, then got injured. This situation will probably be revisited prior to training camp, as fantasy owners try to gauge not only MoJo's health but willingness to play under his current contract.
Rashad Jennings - RB
Posted 4/11/13 12:18pm et
Free-agent RB Rashad Jennings (Jaguars) posted on his official
Twitter account that he is joining the Oakland Raiders. Terms of the
deal were undisclosed.
Huddle Up: Jennings began the season as the Jags' starter but finished it on
the bench due to concussion issues. As for the situation in Oakland,
Mike Goodson is gone, but the Raiders' RB depth chart remains
crowded with Jennings joining holdovers Marcel Reece, Taiwan Jones
and Jeremy Stewart behind starter often-injured Darren McFadden.
Dawan Landry - S
Posted 4/9/13 10:56pm et
The New York Jets have signed free-agent FS Dawan Landry (Jaguars). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Landry hasn't missed a start over the past seasons -- 2 with the Ravens, 2 with the Jags -- and and should fit right in with Gang Green, which needed some help in the defensive backfield with S Yeremiah Bell departing via free agency and the team releasing S Eric Smith.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 4/4/13 4:38pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) has not been cleared to participate in offseason workouts at this point. He is also expected to sit out the team's minicamp in two weeks.
Huddle Up: MJD's last action came in Week 7, but he didn't have surgery until late December, extending his recovery time this offseason.
Blaine Gabbert - QB
Posted 3/28/13 1:18pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert said he welcomes a quarterback competition. 'I welcome that,' Gabbert said. 'It's fun to me.'
Huddle Up: With the Jags checking out draft prospects -- the latest being USC's Matt Barkley -- and trade rumors swirling about Matt Flynn coming to north Florida, it certainly appears there will be extra competition for Chad Henne and Gabbert, who only has 1 300-yard passing game and 4 contests with 2 or more TDs in 2 pro seasons.
Greg Jones - RB
Posted 3/27/13 5:41pm et
The Houston Texans have signed free-agent FB Greg Jones to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: The Texans seem to cycle through fullbacks, and Jones is the latest to fill that role in Houston. Don't look for him to offer much in the way of fantasy value.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 3/22/13 10:28am et
Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew's initial injury was a lisfranc fracture in his left foot.
Huddle Up: This comes as a complete surprise to absolutely no one, even though the Jags refused to identify the injury as a lisfranc fracture when it initially happened. The lingering "foot sprain" is a poor disguise for a lisfranc fracture.
Chad Henne - QB
Posted 3/20/13 10:47am et
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said he is actively searching to add "at least one other quarterback into the fold, possibly two," despite QBs Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne already on the roster. He also said the spot could get addressed through the NFL Draft or free agency.
Huddle Up: Gabbert and Henne are hardly sure things, so it makes sense for the Jaguars to keep looking. Of course, even if the plan is to give Gabbert one more test-drive you want the rest of the league to think Jacksonville is interested in a quarterback so they can receive maximum value if they want to trade out of the second pick.
Jordan Shipley - WR
Posted 3/20/13 10:47am et
The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed free-agent WR Jordan Shipley. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Shipley is an intriguing complement to Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts; if the Jaguars receive competent or better quarterback play he could be a sneaky fantasy contributor, especially in PPR leagues.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 3/19/13 11:44pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) is expected to get the walking boot on his left foot taken off this week. Jones-Drew will begin his rehab once he is out of the boot.
Huddle Up: After leading the league with 1,606 rushing yards in 2011, MJD was limited to a little more than a quarter of that total with 414 a year ago. He was holding out hope of returning late last season, but having surgery in the weeks following his injury instead of late December obviously would have the better option in hindsight.
Laurent Robinson - WR
Posted 3/13/13 12:19pm et
The Jacksonville Jaguars released WR Laurent Robinson.
Huddle Up: Robinson had been cleared from the concussion that prematurely ended his 2012 season, but even prior to injury he came nowhere near living up to expectations after signing as a free agent in Jacksonville. Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts will be the Jaguars' starters, while Robinson enters an already-crowded free agent market for wideouts.
Blaine Gabbert - QB
Posted 3/8/13 12:13am et
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert is dealing with a nerve injury in his forearm but will not need surgery. He is expected to be fully recovered later this spring.
Huddle Up: Gabbert can't afford any health issues as he's entering a make-or-break third season under a new coaching regime for the third straight season.
Rashad Jennings - RB
Posted 3/3/13 1:43pm et
Impending free-agent RB Rashad Jennings (Jaguars) has been plagued by injuries and was a disappointment when given a chance to start with RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) sidelined. The team might figure Jennings is no longer in their plans.
Huddle Up: Jennings impressed onlookers with his 459 yards and 4 TDs in 2010, but averaged only 2.8 yards per rush on 11 attempts in 2012 and was hampered by concussion issues.
Laurent Robinson - WR
Posted 2/22/13 5:09pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said WR Laurent Robinson has been cleared to participate in football activities, but the team will monitor his health very closely.
Huddle Up: Robinson has been sidelined following a concussion, so it's good news that he's been cleared to play. Plenty of time for him to work his way back to the top of Jacksonville's receiver rotation.
Maurice Jones-Drew - RB
Posted 2/9/13 7:27pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew will be running behind a new blocking scheme this year. Offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch plans to install the zone blocking scheme which was popularized by Alex Gibbs when he was the Denver Broncos offensive line coach under then head coach Mike Shanahan. The scheme originally featured smaller, quicker linemen, but said bigger linemen can adjust to it and he believed the team has the personnel to make the transition work.
Huddle Up: The transition to zone blocking didn't exactly work out for Darren McFadden in Oakland, so there is certainly reason to be wary about Jones-Drew and the Jaguars. And if MoJo opts to hold out again, as Jacksonville doesn't seem interested in reworking his contract, it could be a flat-out disaster. Hey, at least they have a passing game to fall back on; oh, wait...
Blaine Gabbert - QB
Posted 2/9/13 7:27pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said Friday, Feb. 8, that he has visited with QB Blaine Gabbert and he has been very impressed. "We're looking for improvement (in his third year). We need to build around him. We'll upgrade whenever we can upgrade," Bradley said.
Huddle Up: All indications are that the Jaguars' new administration will give Gabbert at least one more season to stake a claim on the starting gig. With the running game switching to a zone-blocking scheme, Jacksonville will have plenty to work on offensively.
Blaine Gabbert - QB
Posted 2/8/13 11:16pm et
The Jacksonville Jaguars may target Arizona QB Matt Scott on the third day of the NFL Draft because indications are that the Jaguars will give QB Blaine Gabbert another shot to prove he is their starting quarterback. Scott is a favorite of quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo from their days together at Arizona. Many scouts think Scott is a perfect developmental quarterback in the NFL.
Huddle Up: The Jags are hardly settled at quarterback, but it appears as if the new regime wants to give Gabbert one more chance to claim the job. Scott 's familiarity with the Jacksonville quarterbacks coach makes him a logical late-round target, one who could get an opportunity sooner rather than later.
Blaine Gabbert - QB
Posted 2/5/13 1:45pm et
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said he is not completely discouraged about QB Blaine Gabbert and believes he could do well with a consistent offensive system. Caldwell noted Gabbert is the second youngest starting quarterback in the NFL and that he likely would be a 2013 first-round pick if he had returned to Missouri this past season.
Huddle Up: Gabbert's first 2 seasons have netted 21 TD passes, 17 interceptions, a 70.2 rating and -- maybe, most alarming -- a 5-19 won-loss record in games he's started. He definitely deserves a chance to compete for the team's starting job in training camp this summer, but beyond that, there are few guarantees for the former 10th overall pick.
