JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Running back Maurice Jones-Drew is practicing again, a welcome sight for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jones-Drew missed practice Monday because of a bruised right leg. He got hurt in the final preseason game last week when Washington cornerback Fred Smoot tackled him low from behind, a hit Jones-Drew is still upset about.
He worked in full pads Wednesday, showing no problems running, cutting and catching passes.
Coach Jack Del Rio said there’s little doubt his offensive star will be ready when the Jaguars open the season at Indianapolis on Sunday.
Jones-Drew has 517 yards rushing, 199 yards receiving and six touchdowns in six career games against the Colts.
