Jaguars G Vince Manuwai returned to practice Monday for the first time since tearing his ACL last September. Manuwai's injury last season started the downfall of Jacksonville's run blocking unit last year. Probably the team's best pure run blocker, a healthy Manuwai would make a big difference for Maurice Jones-Drew this year.

Vince Manuwai, who has been rehabbing from a torn ACL in his right knee, returned to practice with the Jaguars Monday, according to the Associated Press. He took just three snaps with the starting offensive line and Manuwai said, "It is not like they are trying to throw me in the fire. They are working me in. Am I anxious? Yeah, but I am not trying to force it at the same time."

Our View: He is expected to be ready to go for training camp next month. Manuwai was a rock-solid starting guard prior to suffering the injury.

Vince Manuwai (ACL surgery) is the only Jags player not medically cleared for practice. Manuwai underwent the surgery eight months ago but has been restricted to riding a stationary bike while the team practices. He's expected to be ready for training camp in late July.Source: Florida Times Union

Eugene Monroe is expected to regain his starting spot this weekend, according to the Twitter page of Jaguars' beat writer Michael Wright. Monroe will take over for tackle Tra Thomas.

Our View: Monroe lost his job to Thomas earlier this season, but apparently coach jack Del Rio feels that he is ready to take it back. He has a bright future in the league, but his rookie year has to be considered a disappointment up to this point.

It's not always easy to track the progress of highly drafted offensive tackles compared to rookies that get stats.But coaches speak loudest with playing time, and it wasn't a good sign for Jaguars tackle pick Eugene Monroe that coach Jack...

Michael C. Wright, of The Florida Times-Union, reports Jacksonville Jaguars OT Eugene Monroe will start at left tackle in Week 9, according to a source.

Garrard as 16 of 26 for 221 yards and one TD in the Jaguars' 24-22 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impacts: Garrard has seven TDs and five INTs and looks to have limited fantasy value.

Garrard threw for 221 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets. He also ran for a touchdown in the win.

Spin: Sunday's game is about what you should expect from Garrard - solid but not great numbers, a touchdown or two, and very little in the way of mistakes.Mon, Nov 16

The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew had 24 carries for 123 yards with a touchdown Week 10. He also caught two passes for 22 receiving yards. He almost scored another touchdown, but instead took a knee at the 1-yard line with just over a minute left in the game against the New York Jets. QB David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, and PK Josh Scobee hit the game-winning 21-yard field goal as time expired. Jones-Drew became the first player to rush for 100 or more yards against the Jets this season.

News: Bad news for Buffalo: Marcus Stroud has been ruled out because of a knee injury, meaning the NFL's worst run defense could be without both starting defensive tackles against Jacksonville this weekend. Kyle Williams has missed three games because of a knee injury, and was listed as questionable by interim head coach Perry Fewell on Friday. Williams has practiced sparingly this week. The Bills have only two other defensive tackles on their roster, reserves Spencer Johnson and John McCargo. Their defense is allowing an NFL-worst 173 yards rushing this season. Buffalo prepares to face the run-happy Jaguars led by Maurice Jones-Drew, who's tied for fourth in the league with 860 yards rushing and has scored seven of his 12 touchdowns in the past four games.

Analysis: We're going to go out on a limb and say that starting Jones-Drew is a pretty good idea this week. If he delivers anything close to what he did last week (kneel not included) then he'll be a solid Fantasy option. Think of him as a No. 1 RB in all leagues and formats

Jones-Drew gets a great matchup this week against the Bills, who rank last in the NFL in run defense.

Spin: Not that you really need an excuse to start Jones-Drew, but this game has as much potential as Tennessee's Chris Johnson had heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Bills. They have several defensive starters out, including Marcus Stroud, and have been getting shredded by the run all season.Fri, Nov 20

Jones-Drew, in the wake of the last-second kneel-down that cost thousands of fantasy owners their games on Sunday, has promised to score more to make up for his fantasy misdeed, according to ESPN.com.

Spin: Jones-Drew noted that "you should tell those 10,000 (the approximate number of ESPN players who lost their fantasy games last week due to Jones-Drew not scoring that final touchdown)) I will score next time."Fri, Nov 20

Jaguars RT Eben Britton aggravated his sprained knee in Sunday's game, but he expects to fine for this week's game against the Rams. Britton, Eugene Monroe, and Tra Thomas were beaten relentlessly by the Seahawks defensive line, which the Jags are blaming on the crowd noise at Qwest Field. That won't be a problem in Jacksonville this week.Source: Florida Times Union

Jaguars RT Eben Britton is not on the Week 5 injury report after missing last Sunday's win with a sprained knee. Britton, the 39th pick overall in April, will help the cause of Maurice Jones-Drew against Seattle. With Mike Sims-Walker emerging, their tackles getting healthy, and an extremely favorable schedule coming up (@ SEA, vs. STL, @ TEN, vs. KC), the Jaguars' offense appears poised for a high-scoring run.Source: Michael C. Wright on Twitter Related: Maurice Jones-Drew

Eben Britton "plans to test" his injured knee at practice on Wednesday, according to Michael C. Wright of the Florida Times-Union.

Our View: Maurice Jones-Drew's left tackle will probably be a game-time decision this Sunday. With the Jags taking on the Seahawks' bottom-tier run-defense, it may not matter.

Lewis had two catches for 58 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Spin: Lewis' increased yardage came as a result of one 33-yard reception. His lack of targets and consistency should keep him from being a regular fantasy play.Mon, Nov 16

News: Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis made two catches for a team-high 58 yards in a Week 10 win at the Jets.

Analysis: Lewis has the odd decent game now and again, but just isn't consistent enough to be worth using in most Fantasy leagues for Week 11 vs. Buffalo

Marcedes Lewis caught just one ball for three yards in Week 9. Lewis is averaging just 10 receiving yards in his last four games.

Miller caught one pass for nine yards in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Spin: Miller's inconsistent season continued with a Week 10 dud. It's really not his fault, but fantasy owners will still have to live with the results.Mon, Nov 16

News: Oakland WR Chaz Schilens made his first start of the season on Sunday in a Week 10 loss to the Chiefs. Schilens caught three passes in the game, gaining 27 yards. His longest reception went for 12 yards.

Analysis: The Raiders offense is terrible through the air and it is not yet known who will be the team’s quarterback in Week 11 against Cincinnati. Schilens and all other Raiders receivers for the most part are not advisable Fantasy options. However, Schilens is worth picking up in deeper leagues as a flier as he and Russell had built a nice chemistry in the preseason

News: Jaguars TE Zach Miller made one 11-yard catch in a Week 10 win at the Jets.

Analysis: Miller has only six catches this season and has no Fantasy value heading into Week 11 vs. Buffalo

Holt had two catches for 24 yards in the Jags' win over the Jets on Sunday.

Spin: While his numbers weren't impressive, Holt did have six targets on Sunday, and is still the second option in Jacksonville's passing game.Mon, Nov 16

News: Jaguars WR Torry Holt made two catches for 24 yards in a Week 10 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Holt has just 78 yards over the last three games and is nothing more than a No. 3 Fantasy WR at the moment. Only use him in Week 11 vs. Buffalo if you have no other option

Torry Holt caught two passes for 24 yards in Week 10 against the Jets. Holt has a grand total of just 78 yards over the past three games, falling behind Mike Thomas as the second option after Mike Sims-Walker.

CBSSports.com reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have activated WR Nate Hughes from their practice squad.

Hughes was signed from the Jaguars' practice squad on Tuesday, the Jaguars' official site reports.

Spin: Hughes had three catches for 15 yards during the first two games of the season, but was demoted due to some drop issues. He'll slot in as the Jags' fourth or fifth receiver and likely play a minimal role.Tue, Nov 17

Nelson is expected to replace Rashean Mathis (groin) at cornerback while Mathis is out, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Spin: Nelson had troubles last week at corner wrapping opposing wideouts up, so don't be surprised if the Buffalo wideouts are able to easily break tackles when covered by Nelson, leading to big gains and fantasy points.Fri, Nov 20

Usual Jaguars FS Reggie Nelson started Sunday's loss to the Titans at cornerback and struggled badly. "He had a tough day," coach Jack Del Rio said. "He...struggled with the tackling part of it. For him to continue to play, he’s got to play better." Nelson hasn't been an efficient tackler since entering the NFL in 2007 and now seems to be losing confidence. He probably won't play corner again soon.Source: jaguars.com

Nelson had seven tackles in the Jags' season-opening loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Spin: Nelson should lead the Jags' secondary in tackles this year.Tue, Sep 15

Anthony Smith has been released by the Rams and signed by the Jaguars.

Our View: He had four tackles in two games for the Rams this season. He'll likely be a special teamer in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars have been awarded Smith off waivers from the St. Louis Rams.

Impacts: Smith, a third-round draft pick by Pittsburgh in 2006, has played 48 games with 14 starts for the Steelers and Rams. He has 99 tackles, four interceptions and 23 special teams tackles. Smith played two games for the Rams this season before he was waived Thursday.

News: Jaguars LB Daryl Smith had eight tackles in Week 9 against Kansas City. He record a 1 1/2 sacks. They were his first sacks of the season.

Analysis: Smith is not expected to put up too many stats but could end up with 75 to 80 tackles. He's just a low-end linebacker in IDP leagues

Mark Long, of The Associated Press, reports the Jacksonville Jaguars went back to a 4-3 defense against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, with successful results. Head coach Jack Del Rio does not anticipate another defensive move after the performance. "We're going to continue to scratch around and settle on things we think our guys can do best," Del Rio said. "If you're playing a four-man line, you're counting on your ends to generate a little pressure. I feel like our guys were excited about what we did. Obviously, we had a little success and want to build on that." DL Quentin Groves was back in the starting lineup last week after falling to the third team, and recorded three tackles.

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Quentin Groves needs to have a strong second half this season, or he could find himself off the team during the offseason.

SI.com's Peter King and the National Football Post's Michael Lombardi both expect Jags OLB/DE Quentin Groves to be shopped at a reduced price this week. Groves is in the doghouse after missing the team charter to Seattle two games ago. Worse, he's struggled to adjust to the 3-4 defense, which the Jags have used heavily this season.Source: SI.com

According to the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars have decided to move defensive tackle Atiyyah Ellison to defensive end. Ellison will add depth aftet the loss of Reggie Hayward

Our View: Ellison will serve as the primary backup at end this weekend, and he would be first to come onto the fueld if someone would go down. He shouldn't have any fantasy value as a backup, but it will be ineresting to see how he adjusts.

Following the season-ending loss of DE Reggie Hayward, the Jaguars will use a 3-4 defense with Atiyyah Ellison at defensive end. John Henderson will be the other end and impressive rookie Terrance Knighton will be the full-time nose tackle. Quentin Groves and Derrick Harvey are the outside linebackers. The Jags used a lot of this alignment in Week 1 against the Colts, consistently stuffing Joseph Addai and Donald Brown.Source: Michael C.

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Clint Ingram (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Oct. 8. He is still not 100 percent and will probably play Week 5, but it will depend on how his injury comes around.

Clint Ingram was limited by an ankle injury on Thursday, according to the team.

Our View: Ingram has 16 tackles through four games so far, and is not a great IDP option.

Alexander (shoulder) practiced fully Friday, but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Spin: The possibility that Alexander could play is one bit of good news for the Jags, who will be without defensive starters Rashean Mathis and likely Justin Durant this week. Check back with us Sunday if Alexander is one of your IDPs.Fri, Nov 20
