Telvin Smith has left the team to be with his family after his brother was killed in a Sunday night shooting in Valdosta, Georgia. According to Valdosta Police Department Chief Brian Childress, 25-year-old Brian Keith Moore was shot to death shortly before 10 p.m. ET at a residence on Knox Drive. Childress said detectives have found a couple of witnesses to the shooting and have determined a motive but did not want to release that information.

The Jacksonville Jaguars fell to 2-7 on the 2016 season, which is nowhere close to where anyone thought they would be headed into the season. The Jaguars have now lost three games in a row and a road trip to Detroit to take on the Lions doesn’t seem to promising. It’s likely the Jaguars end up with something like four wins, maybe, so what exactly is the point of the rest of the 2016 season?

A day later, Head Coach Gus Bradley’s thoughts didn’t change much. The Jaguars on Sunday afternoon lost their fourth consecutive game and slipped to 0-4 at EverBank Field this season. Bradley afterward said special teams, defense and offense all pretty much contributed equally. He reiterated that stance on Monday. "All three units can take responsibility for it," Bradley said Monday, a day after the Jaguars’ 24-21 loss to the Houston Texans. "We just didn’t play as well as we needed to."
