| 22nd August, 2005 - 11:17 pm |  ESPN - Running back Fred Taylor, still recovering from a knee injury, will make his preseason debut Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
Taylor had surgery to repair two partially torn knee ligaments in January. He started running during summer workouts, but was limited to one practice a day during training camp and did not participate in any contact drills.
Coach Jack Del Rio said Monday that Taylor will play sparingly against the Falcons, then will sit out the preseason finale at Dallas because the game is on artificial turf. The Jags open the season at home against Seattle on Sept. 11.
"We're just excited to get Fred out there and get a look at him this week," Del Rio said. "He's probably practiced more in this camp over the last few weeks than he had in any of the previous two camps that we've been here. He's had a lot of work, he just hasn't had the live contact. So we'll give him a little taste of that Thursday night." [READ] |
