William Middleton Hits IR, Jaguars re-sign David Jones

Photo

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.

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)

by Jags85 on Dec 3, 2011 11:20 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

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.

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.

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?

WR and CB are becoming of equal importance that must be addressed in the offseason.

Chris Claiborne CB LSU

by Kamarr on Dec 3, 2011 12:21 PM EST via mobile reply actions

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…

I think

Tyron is playing in Canada or something. I thought about him earlier too, more so for the special teams aspect of his game, that we obviously miss.

I say we should all just start sending in tapes of ourselves....

Best chance any of us will ever have to get signed haha

by grues0809 on Dec 3, 2011 2:44 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

My BIG 3

1. Chris Claiborne 2. Justin Blackmon 3. Trent Richardson

by Kamarr on Dec 3, 2011 3:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

No

way I would draft Richard in the top 10

by Ewdtrey on Dec 3, 2011 6:24 PM EST up reply actions  

Tyron is in the draft. I saw that there was a CB that was 6’2". He was the talest i’ve seen in this upcoming draft.

It's All good!

by Hurricane8765 on Dec 3, 2011 4:20 PM EST reply actions  

I could play RB/QB/TE. I just would have to be a short down TE because i’m partially blind. Even though i’ve never played football on a team, I a least have good knees.

It's All good!

Hmmm

Are we sure the axe and tree stump got removed from the locker room after Podlesh whacked himself?

by Paul Bavington on Dec 3, 2011 6:29 PM EST reply actions  

was that Podlesh

I thought that was before him.

by Ewdtrey on Dec 3, 2011 7:23 PM EST up reply actions  

That was Chris Hanson

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  

They didn't have an off season

to work with the players because of the lockout.

Morris Claiborne CB LSU

by Kamarr on Dec 3, 2011 9:07 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Class of 2013

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