Jacksonville' Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier, who was shot earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist and has had his left leg amputated, his doctors said Monday. Collier is now in stable condition after being previously listed in critical condition. Collier had 14 bullet wounds.

Jaguars' offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter claims that the team's offense will improve. The Jaguars are 24th in the NFL in yardage, 25th in passing offense and tied for 26th in scoring after three games. "No question," he said of an improvement. "I'm guaranteeing it. This week." He believes the team has receivers that can get open deep. "If you brought those wideouts in here and said, 'Can you get behind the defense?' every one of them is going to say, 'Yeah, I have been. They haven't hit me,'" he said.

David Garrard knows that he became a target for criticism when he signed a six-year, $60 million contract extension in the offseason, according to Florida Times-Union. "Whenever you get paid, that's going to happen," Garrard said. "I'm not stupid. I'm not going to be naive to that fact. They [the fans and media] want to see production out of that money, and they want to see you be that top guy. I definitely think I'm still the same player, and I could really care less about criticism and all that stuff." He has received criticism for his play, with the team starting the season 1-2. Garrard has one touchdown and four interceptions through three games.

Jaguars' running back Fred Taylor repeatedly yelled at Miami police officers prior to being arrested and charged with disorderly conduct over the weekend, according to Associated Press. "As officers began to check vehicle for weapons, defendant became vocal again and attempted to [incite] the crowd of bystanders," the police report said. "Defendant really became vocal when drug dog checked for narcotics." "He was advised to quiet down ... for a third time. When defendant did not and continued his loud behavior, he was arrested."

Jacksonville offensive tackle Richard Collier was shot outside of an apartment early Tuesday and sustained life-threatening injuries, according to Associated Press. Collier and former teammate Kenneth Pettway were waiting in a car for some women when a gunman shot into the vehicle. Richard was in critical condition at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center, an official said. The motive behind the attack is unclear, and the sheriff's office is investigating.
