Linebacker Mike Peterson assumed his usual spot in the middle
News: Linebacker Mike Peterson assumed his usual spot in the middle of Jacksonville's defense Wednesday. He's unsure how long he will remain there. Peterson believes the Jaguars are ready to move in another direction, willing to keep the 32-year-old team captain on the sideline for the rest of the season. Peterson was sent home twice last week for insubordination, fined $10,000 by coach Jack Del Rio and then was inactive against Detroit. It was the first time in his 10-year career he missed a game without being injured. The whole thing started when Del Rio criticized Peterson in a team meeting for a muscle-flexing celebration following a sack at Cincinnati. Peterson tried to defend himself, but Del Rio had already told players he didn't want to hear any excuses, so the coach sent him home. Peterson returned the following day and was sent home again. Peterson and Del Rio worked out things Friday, but Del Rio still benched the team's leading tackler against the Lions. "The season's not going well, older guy, move him out of the way and get ready for next year," Peterson said Wednesday. "I guess that's the way it is. That's the way I'm taking it." [...]
