Player Notes

November 30, 2007
Fred Taylor continues to share the workload with Maurice Jones-Drew, and while he may not be a big fan of the system hes not going to complain. Were winning games, Taylor told the Florida Times-Union. Im not going to start riff-raff. I dont want to mess up whats going on. Im a running back. Naturally, you want the ball. At the same time, we have a certain chemistry going on. As long as were winning, Im fine with it.

Both Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew missed portions of Friday's practice. Taylor has a sore groin and MJD is dealing with a sore thigh, according to the Florida Times-Union. Both are listed as probable and are expected to be set for Monday's game. It looks like the Jags are just being cautious with their running backs as they prepare to face the Colts.

Fred Taylor was able to suit up Sunday despite his strained groin and rushed for a season-high 90 yards on six carries. However, he took part in only two plays in the second half, according to the Florida Times-Union. "I'm good," Taylor said after the game. "Coming out at halftime, my legs just locked up in the adductor area [of the groin], both sides. For the whole third quarter, they were locked up. When I finally got them to loosen up for me, it was a given that we were gonna win the game. So it didn't make any sense to get back in there." 76 of his 90 total rushing yards came on his first carry, so aside from that he was held in check. Meanwhile, Maurice Jones-Drew racked up 184 total yards and two touchdowns. We'll have to wait to see how Taylor holds up in practice this week before getting an idea of whether he'll be able to play in Week 7.

At the conclusion of the Jaguars minicamp, running back Fred Taylor will return to South Florida and resume training on his own, according to the Florida Times-Union. Taylor skipped the teams voluntary sessions last season but reported to training camp in shape and had a reasonably productive season; he didnt even get hurt until the end of the year and only missed one game, his fewest in three seasons.

Fred Taylor signed a three-year contract extension with the Jaguars on Thursday, according to the AP. "This is a contract that effectively should help Fred finish his career in Jacksonville," agent Drew Rosenhaus said. "It also rewards him as one of the elite running backs in the league." Taylor ran for 1,146 yards and five touchdowns last year while sharing work with Maurice Jones-Drew, averaging a career-best 5.0 yards per carry.

January 5, 2007
The Jaguars say they're trying to keep Fred Taylor with the club for next season, according to the Florida Times-Union. When James Harris, the team's personnel director, was asked about retaining Taylor, this was his response: "I think that's something that we're obviously in the process [of doing]. Fred had an outstanding year for us. We still feel that Fred has some more yards that he can get for us."
