It is the fourth quarter. Jaguars down 14-10. Maurice busts a run off the left side for 13 yards. We are on the Miami 39 yard line. The call goes to Maurice off the right side. Greg Jones comes out to engage Joey Porter. Maurice is caught in the backfield by the inside linebacker Channing Crowder. It looks like Channing got by Vince Manuwai. As Maurice is wrapped up, he rolls up on Greg Jones leg. Maurice knows what happened. Greg jumps to his feet and puts pressure on the leg and buckles. He signals to the sidelines for help. Del Rio is there. This is serious and everyone knows it. Greg is helped from the field and sits for awhile and then is almost carried to the locker room.
When a player can't put weight on the leg it is serious. We all know what Greg Jones means to this team. We all know how he tore the ACL a few years back and rehabed himself wonderfully. Even with a dedicated effort of training, it took a year to come back fully. Greg Jones means a lot to us all. Someday we will have to say goodbye to Greg as a Jaguar. I believe I speak for us all saying we hope that day wasn't last Sunday. Get well Greg, we want to see you return, and soon!

Veeeery nice piece Terry
It is interesting that he was NOT taken to IR; but Bolen get activated and Witherspoon was waived. I don’t understand fully this move; but Gene knows what he is doing so…

Yeah I thought the same Adam.
I mean 3 games left-Why not put him on IR if he is seriously injured?

Who knows?
It’s only Monday, maybe they haven’t gotten results of an MRI back yet. But I hope it isn’t as bad as it looks. There aren’t too many players in the league who have dealt with as many serious injuries as Greg, and come back to play at a high level.
In his post game interview ...
… Del Rio said it was an ankle injury … does anyone have reason to think it’s a knee?
Greg Jones is the epitome of a professional; I sincerely hope he’s OK and back soon.
Come on guys just give up already before someone else gets hurt. If the Jags keep trying to get a WC spot someone else might get seriously injured. With the Colts coming to town, it would be a great time to prepare some kids for next year. I mean, be serious. How can you expect to go any further with a starting running back under 5’7". I mean, what kind of team thinks they can have success with short all purpose backs?
So, get your 3rd string QB some snaps, enjoy the Florida winter months and load up on 3/4 inch plywood or whatever you hurricane alley folks do in the off season- besides filming episodes of Cops and Americas Most Wanted ; )

If this
Was an ankle injury, the exact same thing happened to me this past season. I was blocking for a team mate like Greg was, and that teammate was tackled and rolled into my leg. I had a high ankle sprain; not the worst injury, but it can be nagging. Greg is one of the toughest on the team, hopefully he can recover from this one.
