Greg Jones Out
Jaguars running back Greg Jones will miss the season after having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee.
Jones, the team's starting fullback and Fred Taylor's primary backup, injured his knee against Tampa Bay. Coach Jack Del Rio initially said it was a sprained medial collateral ligament, but tests revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
"It's unfortunate," Del Rio said. "He's a great football player. He's my kind of guy. I have a lot of respect and admiration for the way he plays the game and the way he prepares himself. I can't say enough about him. He's a great young man and I know he'll come back strong. We're going to miss him."
