The Jaguars train has rolled right over Maurice Jones-Drew’s foot.

The 2011 NFL rushing champ will miss the Week Eight game at Lambeau Field against the Packers with a foot injury suffered Sunday against the Raiders. Coach Mike Mularkey informed the media on Monday of Jones-Drew’s status.

The fact that Jones-Drew was so quickly scratched from Sunday’s game suggests that it could be a multi-game absence. Mularkey provided no further details on Jones-Drew’s condition or prognosis.
