    Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew will not play in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers due to a foot injury. In his place, RB Rashad Jennings will get the start. MJD has an "arch sprain" according to head coach Mike Mularkey "based on the pressure and where the initial swelling comes from."

    Apparently Jones-Drew injured himself on his very first carry and then came out of the game after his second. Jacksonville will likely need to sign an additional reserve running back since Montell Owens sustained a shoulder injury.
