Despite gluteus maximus injury, Blaine Gabbert expected to start | jacksonville.com
Blaine Gabbert suffered an injury to his gluteus maximus muscle in the Jaguars’ loss to the Texans, but coach Mike Mularkey expects his second-year quarterback to start at Indianapolis on Sunday. Gabbert will be limited in practice Wednesday, Mularkey said, but could play a more active role after that. Gabbert underwent an MRI exam Monday. Gabbert suffered the injury, which Mularkey had speculated might be a hamstring issue, while being sacked by Houston’s J.J. Watt early in the fourth quarter. Gabbert stayed in for two more plays, then left the game and did not return.

We bought into Mularkey when he got here. Are we still in? We need to be. There’s not a big alternative.
