Carey in transition
"He comes out and it looks like the season's over with his hand, the way he was screaming on the ground there," Jaguars quarterback David Garrard said. "But he comes back in the game and is tough as all get out."
Mortensen did not actually say Sims-Walker was on the trading block. He was asked by co-worker Adam Schefter about receivers who might be on the trading block during ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown show. Mortensen speculated that Sims-Walker is a player who might be "on the bubble." [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u]
"What you saw yesterday, Don Carey took [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] about 30 snaps at safety, so we're bringing Don along," Del Rio said. "Don has done a nice job in his increased role. We're looking to develop. We feel like we've made some strides in that area."
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] injured his wrist early in the fourth quarter against the Bills at the end of a 17-yard run.
Jaguars running back [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] had X-rays on his right wrist after Sunday's game in Buffalo and the results showed no major injury, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] said he put his hand on the ground to balance himself and defenders piled on him to cause the injury. After taking a few plays off, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] returned to the game.
Sims-Walker report "garbage"
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] hasn't missed a game, but he has been beaten up quite a bit. He missed some time in the preseason with issues with his knee, then missed one practice with an ankle injury last week.

"When I got to the sideline, pretty much it calmed down a little bit," [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] said. "They asked if I could squeeze my hand, I did the best job I could. I figured I would go out and try it to see if it worked. It did, but Deji [Karim] was running the ball well, so we decided to go with Deji and he did a great job.
Garrard said the team would have to limit [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u]'s carries and spell him with backups. Karim had 10 carries on Sunday, his role expanded because of a shoulder injury to backup running back Rashad Jennings.
Reached by phone, Mortensen said Del Rio texted him about the situation and that he will call Del Rio to discuss what happened.

The Jaguars claimed Carey off waivers last summer. He was waived injured by the Cleveland Browns. Carey was brought in as a backup cornerback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Jaguars have been developing him at safety.
"The more you can do, the better," Carey said. "Finally got a shot to get in the game, it felt good."
Jaguars defensive back Don Carey played for a significant portion of Sunday's game, often opposite free safety Gerald Alexander.
"He's pretty quiet usually out there. He's taken some shots and delivered some shots and usually you don't hear a lot," Del Rio said. "He was making a little noise, which made me be concerned, but he's fine. Checked out. They X-rayed it and everything. He's fine. No issue."
"I've taken a couple of shots on the run, like one or two, and I think to myself, 'I don't know how Maurice and the rest of the running backs in this league do it,' " Garrard said. "That one shot that I had was plenty. But I take my hat off to him because he gets up and he keep battling out there."
Theredzone.org created a headline that said "Jaguars WR Sims-Walker on the trading block."
"That's garbage," Del Rio said. "False. Not credible. It's disappointing to see stuff like that just go out be thrown out there haphazardly without anybody checking any sources. So I'm disappointed that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][/u] something like that would be out there for us to discuss."
"I don't know, just been such a tough season with injuries so far, man. Trying to stay healthy."
Del Rio had some strong words for a comment on ESPN by Chris Mortensen that Jaguars wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker was on the trading block.
