Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew expects to practice next week despite missing five straight sessions. He denied a report he had arthroscopic knee surgery, but acknowledged that he has been "taking care of all the nicks and bruises." "I wanted to be out there with my teammates, but we felt the best thing for me was rest and rehab and getting my body back right ..." Jones-Drew said. "I feel great. I can't wait to get out there and play Denver. They are the first hurdle in our road to success and I can't wait to get out there." Jones-Drew started every game last season and finished with a career-high 1,391 yards and 15 touchdowns.
