JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Aaron Kampman is following protocol. He’s skipping practice, working extra with team trainers and wearing a full brace on his right leg.
It’s not what he wants to do.
It’s what he has to do.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are being extra cautious with their top pass-rusher, giving his knee more time to heal before putting him back on the field. He’s not going to play Sunday at the New York Jets and isn’t sure he will be back on the field this month.
He doesn’t have a timetable, though. His treatment calls for more rest, more rehabilitation and more time on the sideline.
It’s certainly not ideal for the Jaguars, who have high hopes for their revamped defense. Jacksonville ranked 30th in the league last season with 26 sacks.
