Starting TE Mercedes Lewis will likely miss the game this weekend against the Browns after suffering a concussion.  Lewis played in 15 games this season for the Jaguars and he caught 32 passes for 518 yards (16.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Rookie 6th round pick Zach Miller out of Nebraska-Omaha could get the start this weekend at TE against the Browns.  He has caught 13 passes for 143 yards (11.0 avg) so far this season. 

24-year old running back Maurice Jones-Drew has been elected to the Pro Bowl and he will be the only Jaguar there.  He has played in 15 games for the Jaguars this season and he has carried the ball 296 times for 1,309 yards (4.4 ypc) with 15 TD runs.  Jones-Drew has also caught 52 passes for 368 yards (7.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  This was Jones-Drew’s first season as the featured back in the Jaguars’ offense and he showed that he is more than capable of handling the job.

The Jaguars got punished yesterday in Foxboro.  David Garrard had a very sub par game yesterday as he completed 19 of 25 passes for 185 yards with 0 TD passes and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 10 yards (2.5 ypc) with a TD run.  Maurice Jones-Drew pitched in with 63 yards rushing on 18 carries (3.5 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 35 yards (11.7 avg).  Rashad Jennings pitched in yesterday with 2 carries for 25 yards (12.5 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 19 yards (6.3 avg).  Rookie WR Mike Thomas led the way in the passing game for the Jaguars with 6 grabs for 57 yards (9.5 avg) yesterday.  The Jaguars finished up with 275 total yards on offense (98 rushing, 177 passing) in this game.

Linebacker Daryl Smith (10 tackles, fumble recovery) and safety Gerald Alexander (9 tackles) pitched in with solid games despite the overall performance of the D which was awful.  The Patriots finished up with 464 total yards on offense (197 passing, 267 passing) in this game.  The Jaguars are now 7-8 on the season but they still have a very outside shot of making the playoffs with a win next week and a lot of help.

The Jaguars will be without 26-year old linebacker Clint Ingram for the rest of the year due to a shoulder injury.  Ingram played in 13 games for the Jaguars this season and he made 52 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss and a sack.  This will hurt the playoff chances for the Jaguars as Ingram is a solid football player.

The Jaguars outplayed the Colts for three quarters last night but they couldn’t finish in the 4th quarter.  David Garrard had one of his better games of the year for the Jaguars completing 23 of 40 passes for 223 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 INT.  Maurice Jones-Drew was all over the place for the Jaguars last night.  He carried the ball 27 times for 110 yards (4.1 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 5 passes for 30 yards (6.0 avg) with a TD grab.  Jones-Drew also returned 2 kickoffs for 59 yards (29.5 avg) last night.  Mike Sims-Walker led the way in the passing game for the Jags last night with 6 grabs for 64 yards (10.7 avg) with a TD grab.  Rookie WR Mike Thomas also had a busy night for the Jags with 2 grabs for 20 yards (10.0 avg) with a TD grab.  Thomas also returned 2 kickoffs for 82 yards (41.0 avg) and 2 punts for 17 yards (8.5 avg).  The Jaguars finished up with 345 total yards in this game (139 rushing, 206 passing) as they had possession of the ball for 35:26!

Linebackers Justin Durant (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and Russell Allen (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Jags on D last night.  The Colts finished up with 369 yards on offense (61 rushing, 307 passing) in this game.  The Jags also had some issues on special teams in this game as back-up RB Chad Simpson ran back a kickoff 93 yards for a TD.  The Jaguars are now 7-7 on the year.
