Nov 8 Quarterback Byron Leftwich had his sprained left knee re-evaluated Monday, and while doctors determined he won't need surgery, he is expected to miss the Jaguars' next two games. Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio indicated there was a slight possibility Leftwich could return November 21 against Tennessee, but a more likely return date would be the following week at Minnesota. Leftwich sprained the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee during the Jaguars' October 31 loss to the Texans, though he returned to the game after suffering the injury.
Views: David Garrard will make the second start of his NFL career this Sunday against the Lions, but the real onus will be on Fred Taylor to shoulder the load for the Jacksonville offense.
