Now that the Jaguars’ season is over, running back Maurice Jones-Drew says he should have undergone foot surgery earlier in the season.“I should have had it a little earlier than when I did but it’s just something that you learn from,’’ Jones-Drew said, per the Florida Times-Union. “You’ve just got to keep going.’’Even if Jones-Drew underwent foot surgery earlier in the season, my guess is that he would have missed the remainder of the season any way. But he would at least have more time during the offseason to train, rather than rehab. Need NFL Tickets?
