Breaking a bone in his left index finger, the Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis has been ruled out by Coach Jack Del Rio from playing against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The news was not beyond expectation as Mathis had not practiced for all week after suffering the injury while playing against the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 18. He had surgery last week to insert a screw in his finger and never sounded optimistic he would wear back his NFL jersey and return against the Titans.
As Mathis, who holds the franchise record with 27 interceptions, is still wearing a cast, the Jaguars will choose a replacement from Scott Starks and Tyrone Brackenridge to start at the position.

Jaguars have plan of expanding market to Orlando
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the Jacksonville Jaguars relieve their financial pain by expanding market to Orlando as the NFL might add two more games to its schedule in the next few years.
The team plans to play some of the team’s games in Orlando, so that there will be a lot more people to sell the jaguars jerseys and tickets in Jacksonville will become slightly more valuable. I have to say it is really a good plan, especially when the team finds it hard to sell tickets in Jacksonville. It is natural for them to seek bigger market, but they should also remember that the performance on field talks much more.
"In the past, we have reached out to try and cultivate that market and haven't had as much success as we would have liked," the Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said. "We probably need to do a better job. That's a given. We are looking at a long-term strategy and thinking out of the box on how we can build a fan base in Orlando."

Jaguars signed a 4-year contract with OT Britton
The Jacksonville Jaguars has signed a four-year contract with their second-round draft pick Eben Britton, and by so far the team has only one rookie unsigned.
By signing this contract, Britton will earn about $4.6 million, with $2.8 million guaranteed. Having the chance of wearing Jaguars nfl jersey, the 6-foot-6, 310-pound offensive tackle is Jaguars' 39th overall selection. He spent three-year as starter at Arizona. And when Jaguars camp begins on Monday, he is expected to compete with Tony Pashos for a starting spot at right tackle.
On Jaguars Sunday practice, almost all players were present, except for the first-rounder Eugene Monroe, who is expected to start at left tackle this fall. Comparing with last year, when Jaguars' first-round pick that year, defensive end Derrick Harvey held out 33 days before signing, the club did well this year to avoid a similar scenario with Monroe.
