Matt Jones has been notified he will not be suspended as the result of his violation of a court-mandated drug program, his agent said. Jones was told last week that he will be fined $50,000, but not suspended. Even without a suspension, the Players Association has urged him to appeal the fine. The wide receiver was suspended for the final three games of the 2008 season after he lost a league appeal stemming from his arrest for cocaine possession last July.

The Jaguars waived wide receiver D?Juan Woods and signed cornerback Tyron Brackenridge off waivers from the New York Jets on Wednesday. Brackenridge, 5-11, 189, was originally signed as an undrafted rookie by Kansas City in 2007. He played in 14 games with the Chiefs the past two seasons and finished with 20 tackles and two forced fumbles. He signed with the Jets on Feb. 19 and was waived on Tuesday.

The Jaguars have signed veteran quarterback Todd Bouman, who will compete with Cleo Lemon to serve as David Garrard's backup. He spent part of the 2007 season with Jacksonville as a backup to Quinn Gray, who was replacing an injured Garrard. The Jaguars only carried two quarterbacks on their active roster last year, so Bouman and Lemon are battling for a spot as well.

Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, who like the team struggled last season, believes that the pieces are in place for a turnaround this season. "We definitely have a playoff-caliber team here," Garrard said. "[But] talking about it is not going to get it done. I really feel like [Del Rio] and [general manager] Gene Smith have done a great job of bringing in talent around here to help us get back to the playoffs." Garrard wasn't protected well last season, and suffered a physical beating from defenses. Jacksonville believes they have solved that problem by drafting tackles Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton.
