Jones-Drew leaves game with leg injury

The main goal of the fourth preseason game is to avoid serious injuries.  It appears Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones-Drew will reach that goal, but not before scaring the team.

Jones-Drew left for the locker room after Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot tackled him on a short reception.  The team is calling it a “bruised right leg” (riiiiight), but the Associated Press on hand says the injury “doesn’t appear serious.”

Even if the injury is minor, it raises a question fantasy leaguers have been asking all offseason: Who is Jones-Drew’s backup?   If this article is any indication, fullback Greg Jones would probably get the most carries in Mo-Jo’s absence.

    Those fantasy owners that took him in the top 3 are warned to stay away from tall buildings.

    I didn’t know it was humanly possible to hurt Jones-Drew’s thigh?
    Isn’t Greg Jones that uber dominant RB from that one school in FLorida who used to be good with the coach who used to be good..teehee!

    Totally ridiculous. They should just fire Jack Del Rio right now.

    Siddharta, is Florio paying you to start crap? Guaranteed you didn’t even see the play. Take a quick second from slurping Rosenthal and PFT and think about it. Let me guess….you took Drew Brees…..

    I drafted him 3 hours ago……
    DAMN YOU, DEL RIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He’s going to be fine.
    Rashad Jennings is likely second in line for carries.

    Smoot is like 170-180 pounds soaking wet. I’d be scared if I just took jones as my #1

    I hope its not serious but serious enough to keep him out week 1 against my Colts.
    The dude is a stud.

    DanSnyder….of course you would. You actually singed Colt Brennan. HAHAHAHA You officially have 3 crap QB’s. Good luck, bottom dweller

    Look for the Jags to try & sign another RB after the roster cuts are announced.

    Hope the Redskins don’t play the Jags for a while because I hear Mojo wasn’t too pleased with that hit from Fred Smoot. I think he wants to block him. Shawn Merriman style.
