| 23rd December, 2005 - 4:11 am |  ESPN - Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Byron Leftwich, sidelined since Nov. 27 when he suffered a broken right ankle, will try to resume running Friday as he and team officials take the next step in gauging the status of his recovery.
The three-year veteran, who started the first 11 games of the season and registered an 8-3 record, discarded his crutches only a week ago. The normal recovery for such an injury is 4-8 weeks, so even getting Leftwich back for the early playoff rounds is a long shot, but there is some hope in the organization that he can return for the regular season finale.
Jacksonville can secure a wild card berth with a victory at Houston on Saturday afternoon with backup quarterback David Garrard, 2-1 since replacing Leftwich, as the starter. The Jaguars conclude the season with a New Year's Day home game against Tennessee. [READ] |
