| Jacksonville cornerback Rashean Mathis will miss the rest of the season due to a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee, according to the AP. |
Our View: Mathis will probably go on injured reserve soon. He was the team's top cornerback, and it's yet another injury that the Jags will have to deal with in a season where they've faced plenty of them. |

|
|
| With Jacksonville struggling, head coach Jack Del Rio will look to make changes in the offseason, and one of those could be firing defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, according to the Sporting News Today. |
Our View: The Jaguars are a respectable 13th in pass defense, but are 20th against the run and 20th in points per game allowed, with 22.5. The players have not adjusted well to his schemes. |

|
| Fred Taylor broke the Jaguars team record for touchdowns with his fourth quarter score against the Texans. Taylor rushed for 67 yards on only nine carries. |
Our View: Taylor surpassed the touchdown total of Jimmy Smith. The score was his first of the year. |
|
|
|
| Matt Jones had a nice night in the Jaguars loss to the Texans. The receiver caught eight balls for 104 yards. |
Our View: Each and every week we hear that Jones will be suspended and he continues to play. |
|
|
|
| David Garrard completed 25-of-35 passes on Monday night for 287 yards and a touchdown. He also threw a pick and loss to the Texans 30-17. |
Our View: The Jaguars have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL and Garrard has only thrown 10 touchdowns to go along with 9 interceptions. |
|
|
|
| Rashean Mathis has a sprained knee and will not return for the second half of the Jaguars game. |
Our View: Mathis was injured on the last play of the first half and will not return. |
|
|
|
| Jaguars inactives: receivers Mike Walker, Troy Williamson, corner back William James, linebackers Brian Iwuh, Thomas Williams, center Drew Miller, defensive end Jeremy Mincey, and tight end Richard Angulo. |
Our View: None of the inactives have any fantasy value. |
