Rookie defensive tackle Nick Fairley is in a walking boot a day after injuring his left foot in a pass-rush drill.

Fairley, the 13th overall pick in April's draft, had X-rays during Monday's practice after limping off with a foot injury. Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz said X-rays were negative at the time.

Receiver Titus Young, right tackle Gosder Cherilus, linebacker Zack Follett and cornerback Jack Williams also are sitting out the Lions' first full-pad practice of training camp this morning.

Young, the Lions' second-round pick, has taken part in just one practice this summer because of muscle tightness in his leg.

The Browns punter just had a season ending injury. How the hell does that happen

However, during the 2003 season Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio placed a wooden stump and axe in the Jaguars locker room as a symbol of his theme advising players to "keep choppin' wood". After his teammates had been taking swings at the wood with the axe, Hanson followed and ended up seriously wounding his non-kicking foot.[1] He was placed on injured reserve on October 10, keeping him out the rest of the 2003 season.

Did he drop the axe on his foot? wtf?

Florida Times Union columnist Gene Frenette says of Blaine Gabbert that "in 16 years of watching the Jaguars in preseason, I've never seen a quarterback look so impressive just throwing the football."
No one can doubt Gabbert's measurables. Despite looking a little tentative in the pocket at Missouri last season, he's 6'4/233 with excellent mobility and a plus arm. Gabbert won't beat out David Garrard for the starting job by Week 1, but we're expecting the torch to pass at some point this season.

missed the wood and cut his foot in two. lmao

 

[kam.]

LAWL.

I was negative repped cause I posted somebody elses opinion on gabbert.

Stay classy SI.

Did he drop the axe on his foot? wtf?

When the Jags hired Del Rio, he put the stupid piece of wood there. Chris Hanson has always been the "Watch me beat everybody at this" type of person.. If you went back and watched Hard knocks with the Jaguars.. you'd see that.

LOL.

Apparently he missed the wood, and cut his foot.

Now to this day in Jacksonville, if you mention "Keep Choppin Wood" to Del Rio, he gets all embarrassed and mad about it.

Gregg Williams:

What are your first thoughts on Cameron Jordan?

“He’s a good kid. I’m real happy he’s here and he is one of those guys who just looks makes us look different as far as in uniform. Now he has to quickly adapt to the style of our play. His defensive coordinator in college (Clancy Pendergast) was a coach with me a long time ago in the 90’s who was also a coordinator in the NFL. So I know a lot about him and how Clancy used him, so he’ll fit in with the many different ways that we will use him. He’s just not going to be a stereotypical defensive end. You guys will see him play end on both sides, you’ll see him play tackle on both sides, and you’ll see him stand up a little bit. He’s smart enough to do a bunch of things; he just has to get over the information overload in a real quick time, and we’ll find out how good of an education he got at the University of California.”

I know you love versatility in guys. People say that Jordan might be better in a 3-4 than a 4-3. Is there too much made of that?

“Well let me say this: Who are those people? I don’t care what they say.”

Martez Wilson looks the part of an athlete, but does he have some learning to do?

“Yeah he looks good doesn’t he? I have to make sure that he doesn’t shock us on Sunday by not knowing what the stress is of playing in the NFL. The way we practice here is what we call – we term it ‘organized chaos.’ We as coaches try to put as much external stress on them as possible so that the game is simple. If he can block me out, if he can block out the stress of somebody constantly riding him, on game day he’ll point the cat out play pretty good. But he’s got to battle through that. They’ve had five months to be comfortable; it’s time for them to start being uncomfortable. I’d rather him be uncomfortable in practice so I’m not uncomfortable on game day.”

What have you seen from Patrick Robinson so far?

“Night-and-day transition. We have gone through what, five practices? You haven’t heard me chew his ass. How about Patrick Robinson and Junior Galette? I about busted a blood vessel in the side of my ear last year being all over Junior. This year, (I) haven’t said one thing. See, it’s our responsibility as coaches that when you get a young player in the league, to teach them what it’s like to be a pro. If you don’t change them attitudinally, if you don’t change them to make sure that they pay their dues and come in, that’s our fault as coaches. Momma and Daddy have been letting it go their whole life. Mommy and Daddy have been saying ‘It’s okay Johnny, it’s okay Patrick,” but it’s not okay. Patrick has had a phenomenal camp. You know what? Patrick Robinson is speeding up Tracy Porter’s recovery process. Tracy wants to get back out there in a hurry because he sees how well Patrick is doing. And I mean that sincerely.”

Everyone loves to hear about Junior Galette. Is he making that mental transition?

“I haven’t gotten on him once have I? I’m looking for ways to get on him. He’s had a really good camp. I’m looking forward to seeing him in preseason games. When nobody is in his helmet besides him, he’s got to get out there and do it. He earns the right for us to give him a shot this year, on what he went through last year. I’m really proud of him too.”
