The Jacksonville Jaguars will finish the season without tight end Marcedes Lewis, who got a bone in his face broken in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots after taking on a crushing hit from a safety in Patriots jersey.
The Jaguars may also have to play this Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns without cornerback Rashean Mathis and defensive tackle Atiyyah Ellison as Mathis is still hampered by an injury suffered in November and Ellison was still walking on crutches Monday after suffering a knee injury.
The hit on Lewis came on an off-target throw from QB David Garrard. The throw symbolized Garrard’s struggles to deliver pinpoint passes in clutch situations. Despite Coach Jack Del’s support and GM Gene Smith’s confidence, Garrard may still have to give up his starting job because his production hasn’t matched the salary the team promise to offer.

Six injured Colts starters missed practice
The Indianapolis Colts practiced Wednesday without six starters, who were nursing different injuries. Pro Bowl defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis were among the six injured starters, remaining uncertain for this Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
Freeney is having abdomen problem and Mathis injured quad, but both played last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The practice report has more significance this week because Coach Jim Caldwell said he will decide who to play based, in large part, on who is healthy.
Other starters who sat out were: receiver Pierre Garcon with hand injury, left tackle Charlie Johnson with foot injury, cornerback Jerraud Powers with injured hamstring and linebacker Clint Session with knee injury. And the most important guy wearing No. 18 Colts jersey was listed again with an injury to his backside but anyway took full part in the practice.

Four Giants players missed Thursday practice
Offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie and cornerback Corey Webster missed the New York Giants Thursday practice with knee injuries, wide receiver Mario Manningham missed the practice with an undisclosed illness and backup running back Ahmad Bradshaw was out with an ankle injury.
According to Giants Coach Tom Coughlin, it remains unsure whether McKenzie and Webster would wear back Giants jerseys to play next Monday night’s road game against the Washington Redskins. But he indicated that Webster is having a better chance to play than McKenzie.
Rookie Will Beatty, who already started an Oct. 25 game against the Arizona Cardinals as replacement to McKenzie, would get the starting job again if McKenzie could miss Monday’s game, and Webster’s possible replacement should be Aaron Ross, who started at safety last week after missing the first nine games with hamstring injury.

Cardinals’ defense fighting injuries
The Arizona Cardinals had their Thursday practice without safety Antrel Rolle, but with wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and tight end Stephen Spach. All of the names are mentioned because of injuries.
Rolle missed the practice for the second day because of a sore right foot. He was hurt when his interception was clinched in Sunday night’s 24-17 victory over the New York Giants. And his status for this Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers is still uncertain. But other injured players showed good signs of returning. Very likely we will see them wearing Cardinals jerseys playing against the Panthers.
Boldin took a limited part in practice although a sore ankle continued bothering him; Breaston also practiced on a limited basis while taking care of his knee; also limited in practice was Spach, who missed the game against Giants with an ankle injury; and Rodgers-Cromartie was in much better condition than all of others- he has been a full participant in practice for all the week after spraining his ankle while playing against the Giants.
