The Jacksonville Jaguars landed another defensive player on injured reserve today. Starting cornerback William Middleton has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, the team announced on Twitter. The Jaguars were already down starting cornerbacks Rashean Mathis and Derek Cox.
The Jacksonville Jaguars today placed cornerback William Middleton on injured reserve with a knee injury and signed fifth-year cornerback David Jones to a contract. Middleton played in the first 11 games for the Jaguars and made six starts.
David Jones was on the Jaguars last season, starting a few games for Derek Cox when he was benched early in the year. Jones was originally acquired by the Jaguars prior to the 2010 season in the trade with the Cincinnati Bengals for safety Reggie Nelson. Jones was placed on injured reserve prior to the 2011 season, but negotiated a settlement and was released.
Middleton now brings the Jaguars injured reserve count to 20 and they could be potentially starting two undrafted rookie cornerbacks on Monday Night.

So who did the Jags release to make room for him?
You can't reason with unreasonable people.
If you ain't first, you're last.
...And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust........
Phillip Rivers just got a big smile on his face.
You can't be serious
I guess all that good luck from last year is evening out

If one of our CB's gets injured on Monday Night
One of WR’s will have to fill in at CB. Gosh we almost have a whole starting Offense/Defense on.I.R..alone (20/22)

That's a good question
who would play CB? Assuming we ran out of CB’s in a game, because we still got a couple more.
Lowery could easily make the switch.
But the first non-DB….Well I know MJD, Montell Owens, Osgood, and potentially Chastin West could play Safety(I would actually pay to watch MJD play some safety)
But our first true CB…Maybe Dillard who has good hips and does play coverage teams some.
If the defense can play at a respectable level in spite of these injuries
Then Tucker deserves the job.

If you ain't first, you're last.
Off one game against a struggling Chargers offense?
Eh. Let’s settle down on crowning Mel Tucker. I remember a ton of people who wanted him fired after 2009.
In 2009 was he calling plays?
Or was JDR?
Good game homie

I think they are trying to get all the young players
to play, so we can a good look at them to see who we bring back to training camp next season.

Agree
I havent been able to jump on the site and partake for quite a while now, but it seems like every other day i have been seeing Jaguars go to the IR and practice squad guys thrust onto the roster/starting lineup. I couldnt help but thinking the exact same thing about the young guys getting a look in these games with the playoffs out of the picture. Not just the coaches getting a good look here. Anybody heard the significance of Middleton’s injury?
E
Please tell me we're no going to start David Jones
I’d rather see Rutland get the nod over Reggie Nelson 2.0
WR and CB are becoming of equal importance that must be addressed in the offseason.

If Blackmon is off the board and he is still in - yes.

You know how bad David Jones is?
“Jones had workouts this season with the St. Louis Rams (9/21), Houston Texans (10/4), Denver Broncos (10/10), Washington Redskins (11/1) and the Bengals on November 8.”

5 workouts, no hiring. Also for me it says all that the Jaguars brought Trent Morgan here earlier then Jones…

Hmmm
Are we sure the axe and tree stump got removed from the locker room after Podlesh whacked himself?
Hey Alfie, what does this say about...
the Jaguars Strength and Conditioning Coaches? The NFL churns out injuries weekly but the amount of injuries on this team over the past few years is becoming ridiculous. Do you think they should get the boot?
by Pocket Hercules 32 on Dec 3, 2011 6:38 PM EST reply actions
So did every other team...
and we by far have the most injuries.

Class of 2013
Sheldon Price, a poor man’s Morris Claiborne. Will probably come at a cheaper draft spot.
