Report: Austen Lane headed to I.R.

by Adam Stites on Oct 18, 2011 3:46 PM EDT in Jacksonville Jaguars News

With the signing of Mike Sims-Walker seemingly imminent, the Jaguars would need to release a player or send a player to injured reserve to make room for Sims-Walker on the roster. Well it appears as though we have our answer as to who, via a Tania Ganguli tweet.

Tania Ganguli Austen Lane hurt his shoulder pretty badly on Sunday. He's going on IR, per a source. That's the roster spot for Mike Sims-Walker #Jaguars

Austen Lane heads to injured reserve after recording 14 tackles through six games so far in 2011. He recorded his first career sack against the Saints in week four, but ultimately struggled to provide a pass rush. With the return of Aaron Kampman to the lineup, Lane's snaps were reduced further as he was proving to be less productive than Matt Roth, Jeremy Mincey and John Chick at rushing the passer.

Hate to see anybody get hurt

He really wasn’t doing much for us on the field though. Plus side: He’ll have more time to tweet, which is a very good thing.

If AK

stays healthy, this is probably a blessing in disguise.

He didn't show much in Pittsburgh

I watched him fight the RT Scott of the Steelers and he was getting nothing on the guy. I know it’s his first game back, but still….I wasn’t encouraged.

I know that he was below his standard

but I don’t think it was indicative of we’ll get from him eventually.

Sorry to see this

I really thought he was going to be one of the feel good stories this year, which obviously didn’t pan out.

He's starting

to looks a little bit like Harvey on the field. Little more motor.

Not fair

All the bad things we saw in the pre-season (Garrard sucking, the O-line sucking, the receivers sucking, the pass rush sucking) came true in the regular season and none of the good things (Alualu being an absolute monster, Lane being a force).

Why the hell do we suck
