After losing their fullback Greg Jones for the year, the Jacksonville Jaguars learned of more bad news, losing cornerback Chris Roberson for the season. Roberson sustained an injury against Tampa that was not thought to be serious but has since been upgraded to season-ending. An MRI revealed a significant shoulder injury that is expected to heal without surgery being performed.

Coach Jack Del Rio planned to give fullback Greg Jones a bigger role in the offense this year. Unfortunately, it will not happen. The Jaguars announced on Monday that Jones will miss the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The third-year player suffered the injury in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay. Del Rio initially believed the injury to be a sprained MCL, but an MRI revealed that Jones had a torn ACL.

The Jaguars might have to start the season without leading tackler Mike Peterson and fullback Greg Jones. Peterson, the team's middle linebacker and emotional leader, sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee Saturday night against Tampa Bay and may not be ready for the season opener September 10 against Dallas.

Daunte Culpepper's teammates slapped him on the back as he came out of the game -- the only blows the Dolphins' new quarterback would absorb in his brief Miami debut. Culpepper settled for one 2-yard completion, while the Jacksonville Jaguars completed four touchdown passes of 50 yards or more to beat Miami 31-26 in the exhibition opener for both teams Saturday night.
