Inside the Jaguars: Sanders ready to return
Ace Sanders heard the news early this week. Told he would be returning punts Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, assuming the role four games into the regular season, the rookie from South Carolina responded intuitively.

Colts' Richardson could be more involved vs. Jags - MiamiHerald.com
Trent Richardson scored on his first carry with the Indianapolis Colts, a successful debut that came after just two practices with his new team. Now, after a week of work, he's facing the perfect defense to help make a big day happen. The Jaguars (0-3) rank last in the NFL in rushing defense, giving up 168 yards a game.

"Ahmad Bradshaw took a big load off of me," Richardson said. "Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne, the offensive line, it's a big load being taken off of me. When you don't have to play from behind, you can really get the touches that you really want. We've got a two-headed monster. It's crazy."
