Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback David Garrard practiced with the first-team offense Wednesday, the latest step in his return to the starting lineup. Garrard missed the last three games after spraining his left ankle Oct. 22 against Indianapolis. The Jaguars, who went 2-1 with Quinn Gray under center, expect Garrard back Sunday against San Diego. "He's one of our playmakers on offense so to be able to get him back certainly should provide a lift," Coach Jack Del Rio said. "We want David to settle back into the kind of football he was playing before he got injured, be a playmaker for us. He was making plays with his mind, with his feet and with his arm. We want him to get back into that groove and play good football for us." Garrard, who ran without pain last week, probably could have played Sunday at Tennessee. But the Jaguars (6-3) decided to play it safe and hold him out one more week.
