Jacksonville Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey told reporters, including Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union, that running back Maurice Jones-Drew is the only player “definitely out” for the team’s upcoming game against the Houston Texans. Mularkey says that MJD is the only player definitely out for the Houston game. Decisions to be made on other ailing players. — Vito Stellino(@vitostellino) November 12, 2012 Jones-Drew continues to be hampered by a foot injury, which has caused him to be sidelined since it was sustained on Oct. 21 against the Oakland Raiders. Entering that week, Jones-Drew had totaled 408 yards with one touchdown on 84 carries over the first five games of the season. Given their current place in the standings and the fact that they’re going nowhere fast this season, the Jaguars have little incentive to rush Jones-Drew back to action. In his place the Jaguars will once again call on backup running back Rashad Jennings.
