In Thursday night’s game against the Washington Redskins, the Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew had to leave the field after bruising his right leg.
The injury occurred when Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot tackled him following a short reception during the opening series. Then Jones-Drew left to the locker room and did not return to the field.
As the cornerstone of the offense, with a record of nearly 4,000 yards rushing and receiving and 40 touchdowns in three seasons, Jones-Drew was given a five-year, $31 million contract by the Jaguars in April. So even though the injury was not serious, the team just still did not want to take the risk of losing their top play maker in a preseason finale.
