Derek Cox's days as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be over as his agent told Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union on Wednesday, "The Jaguars are not in play to bring Derek back."

Cox was a third round selection in the 2009 NFL Draft and has been a starter during his four seasons with the team, but injuries have plagued him for much of the past three seasons. In the past two seasons, the talented cornerback missed a combined 14 games due to a variety of injury problems.
