Jaguars Injuries Mounting

Earlier in the week, I mentioned that they Jaguar's paltry running game against the Titans was no cause for concern, because they were, after all, facing one of the best run defenses in the NFL. However, since then the Jaguars have put both of their starting guards, Vince Manuwai and Maurice Williams, on season-ending injured reserve. So, there is some cause for concern about the status of both Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew.

Over their next four games, the Jags face Buffalo, Indianapolis, Houston, and Pittsburgh. Their running game may not look very good at that point, but then they face Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Detroit in a four-game stretch that should heal the running game. MJD is still an every-week start at this point, but you will have to see if he is still able to pound out inside yards with two new gaurds on the offensive line. Fred Taylor may be sitting more often than not until the Jaguars face the easy portion of their schedule.
