In the wake of trading Eugene Monroe to Baltimore this week, Jaguars General Manager David Caldwell spoke to not only Jones-Drew – the team’s three-time Pro Bowl running back – but middle linebacker Paul Posluszny.

Jaguars expect WR Shorts to play against Rams

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts III is expected to play Sunday at St. Louis. Shorts sat out practice Friday with a groin injury, but coach Gus Bradley says the team's leading receiver should play against the Rams. Shorts tweaked his groin during a walkthrough Wednesday, and the team has been cautious with him since. Shorts has 26 receptions for 337 yards this season. The Jaguars hope the return of receiver Justin Blackmon from a four-game suspension will take some pressure off Shorts and maybe open up room for running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
