Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) told Fox Sports Radio via Sportsradiointerviews that he hopes to return "in a couple of weeks." When asked whether he would be out the entire season, Jones-Drew said, “No it’s definitely not going to be the year but with a foot injury you don’t want to mess around with it and come back at 70 or 80 percent. It’s just one of those things that’s going to take a little bit of time but it’s doing much better. Hopefully I will be back in a couple of weeks.” Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails
