Jacksonville Injury Update: Chris Prosinski And T.J. Heath To Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been best by injuries during the entire 2011 NFL season, and two more took their toll on Monday. Safety Chris Prosinski and T.J. Heath saw their seasons end as they were placed on injured reserve. That now makes 23 different players on the Jacksonville roster that have been placed on injured reserve:

The Jaguars are placing T.J. Heath on injured reserve, according to Heath's Twitter. He says he'll need surgery for the shoulder he injured in practice last week.

Prosinski injured his thumb in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, thus ending his season. To take their places on the roster the Jaguars promoted 3rd-year corner Darcel McBath and 2nd-year corner Robert McClain to the 53-man roster. McBath is a former second round pick of the Denver Broncos whow as placed on injured reserve last season and cut before this season started. He has 33 tackles and two interceptions in his career.

Josh Freeman Injury: Shoulder Pain May Have Hampered Freeman On Sunday

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got kind of embarrassed by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and a lot of that had to do with Josh Freeman continuing to get over his shoulder injury. But according to Stephen Holder at the St. Petersburg Times, the Bucs and coach Raheem Morris won't blame the performance on the shoulder injury.

“Obviously, he didn’t play well,” coach Raheem Morris said. “But you put him out there. You’ve got to play him. He was healthy. We make no excuses about it. He took a couple (hits) and was able to get back up. . . Obviously, you can’t say (he played) without pain. He played through it. He’s a fighter. This guy is for his team. He wants to go out there and win for them. But we won’t make excuses that he had bad throws because of his bad shoulder. We had bad throws because of decision-making. I wouldn’t put him out there if he wasn’t ready to go.”

Freeman was supposed to be the Buccaneers franchise player and one of their best heading into the year, but he hasn't lived up to expectations at all. The shoulder injury is likely a big part of that, but Freeman has to do a better job when he is on the field.

Jaguars Vs. Buccaneers: Maurice Jones-Drew Breaks Franchise TD Record In Win

Maurice Jones-Drew had a darn good game on Sunday, scoring two touchdowns on the ground and another two through the air. It was his best game of the year so far, and it meant a ton in terms of historical perspective for the Franchise. With those four touchdowns, Jones-Drew broke the Franchise's all time touchdown record with 73, surpassing Fred Taylor's 70. Taylor was Jones-Drew's mentor when he got into the league, and according to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union, the importance of passing him is not lost on MJD.

“He mentored me to be the player I am today,” Jones-Drew said. “For him to take time out of his career to work with me, it means a lot to me. . . Words can’t really explain how excited I am to have a guy who taught me how to play this game the right way, how to take care of my body and do those things. I’m proud of the guys around me as well. They’ve been blocking their butts off for the last six years that I’ve been here. They deserve a lot of the credit as well.”

Kellen Winslow Week 14 Fantasy Update: Tampa Tight End Has Quiet Day In Loss To Jacksonville

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kellen Winslow had a quiet day on Sunday in Jacksonville. He was targeted five times by quarterback Josh Freeman, but caught only two balls for 38 yards and was held out of the end zone. Those 38 yards were still good enough to lead all Tampa pass catchers in a brutal day at EverBank Field. Freeman, who was returning from a shoulder injury, was erratic for most of the day and threw two interceptions. The Bucs quarterback simply could not hit Winslow as the offense sputtered after taking a 14-0 lead in the first half.

The Buccaneers return home next week to face the Dallas Cowboys at Raymond James Stadium. As the fantasy playoffs continue, Winslow owners will have to hope for more productivity against Rob Ryan's defense.

Freeman finished 16 of 20 for 181 yards. He added 26 yards on the ground in four carries, including the aforementioned rushing touchdown. But it was another ugly game in an ugly season for Freeman and his fantasy owners.

The Jaguars scored 41 unanswered points to run away with the win.

Blount finished with 74 yards rushing on 18 carries. He scored the game's first touchdown, punching it in from one yard out just over five minutes into the first quarter.

Maurice Jones-Drew Week 14 Fantasy Update: Jaguars Running Back Has Monster Four Touchdown Day In Rout Of Buccaneers

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, the NFL's leading rusher entering Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had a huge four touchdown day for his fantasy owners.

MJD has always been lauded for his versatility, and that was on full display Sunday.

Jones-Drew finished with 85 yards rushing on 27 carries, for just a 3.1 average per carry. But he was targeted six times by rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert. He caught all six throws for 51 total yards and added those two touchdowns in the air.

Buccaneers Vs. Jaguars Injury Report, Week 14: Josh Freeman Active And Will Start For Tampa Bay

After missing last week's game against the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman is active Sunday for their matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Freeman suffered a minor setback with his shoulder on Friday but nevertheless, he has been cleared to play and will get the start, relegating Josh Johnson to backup once again. Micheal Spurlock is active for the first time in over a month, and is listed in his typical wide receiver role but will certainly be an emergency third option at quarterback, with Rudy Carpenter inactive again.

On defense, the Bucs will be without cornerback Aqib Talib who was deactivated before kickoff. The Bucs will have big Albert Haynesworth active at EverBank Field, but are only playing with the three active defensive ends in Michael Bennett, Adrian Clayborn, and Da'Quan Bowers.

The full list of Bucs inactives below.

QB Rudy Carpenter
WR Sammie Stroughter
S Larry Asante
CB Aqib Talib
DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim

Kellen Winslow Fantasy Projection: Despite QB Questions, Buccaneers TE Is Solid Start Against Jaguars

No matter who is at quarterback Sunday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-8) face the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-9), Kellen Winslow will be targeted often and has the opportunity for a huge fantasy day. Winslow averages seven targets a game, and despite catching just nine balls for 93 yards in the past two games, is still just one reception short of being the team's leading receiver. Jacksonville has allowed six touchdown receptions to opposing tight ends this season.

The fantasy football projection site numberFire ranks Winslow as the ninth best option at tight end this weekend. The Tampa Bay TE's projected stats: 3.56 rec for 41.17 yds, 0.34 TDs for 6.17 points.

For the season, Winslow is second on the team in catches, with 56 receptions. He has 569 yards and two touchdowns, and 31 of his 56 receptions have been for first downs.

LeGarrette Blount Fantasy Projection: An Injured QB Means Lots Of Touches For Tampa Bay's RB

Despite the aforementioned positive signs for a Blount breakout this week, the fantasy football projection site numberFire ranks Blount as just the 17th best option at running back this weekend. The Tampa Bay RB's projected stats: 11.16 car, 49.03 yds, 2.57 rec for 22.74 yds, 0.44 TDs for 9.82 points.

For the season, Blount has rushed 149 times for 663 yards and four touchdowns.

Josh Freeman Fantasy Projection: Shoulder Injury Makes Freeman A Risky Play

After missing last week's 38-19 loss to the Carolina Panthers with a right shoulder injury, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman was limited during the week's practice, but did take normal reps on Friday and appears ready to play Sunday when Tampa Bay (4-8) travels to Jacksonville (3-9) to take on the Jaguars.

Given the injury concern, it should come as no surprise that fantasy football projection site numberFire ranks Freeman as just the 22nd best option at quarterback this weekend. The Tampa Bay QB's projected stats: 18.72/31.38, 207.02 yds, 1.18 TDs, 0.94 INTs for 12.28 points.

For the season, Freeman has started 11 games, completing 61.8 percent of his 411 pass attempts for 2,715 yards,12 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.

ESPN Fantasy Football Week 14 Most Added/Dropped Players: Buccaneers Defense, Jaguars Marcedes Lewis in Top 25 Adds

In their first clash with in-state foe Tampa Bay since 2007, the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-9) host the Buccaneers (4-8) Sunday afternoon in a battle of team struggling teams. Tampa Bay has lost six straight games, allowing an average of 30.7 points in the process. The Jaguars, on the flip side, have the worst offense in the league, averaging just 254.7 yards a game, and only muster 12.7 points per contest.

Given those stats, it is then perhaps surprising that on ESPN.com's Most Add/Dropped list the Tampa Bay defense comes in as the 25th most added and Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis is the 16th Most Added player. Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman, who has struggled the entire season, is 25th on the Most Dropped list.

Josh Freeman Injury Update: Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Resumes Throwing In Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman resumed throwing during Thursday's practice, reports Joe Smith of the St. Pete Times, indicating there's a chance he could suit up for the Bucs' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. Freeman sat out Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers after spraining a joint in his right (throwing) shoulder the week prior against the Tennessee Titans. Starting in place of Freeman, Josh Johnson completed 16-of-27 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Freeman "threw some slant passes with velocity and some deeper throws," writes Smith, "and it didn't look like he was in discomfort." However, the team still lists him as questionable for Sunday's game, and all four of Tampa Bay's quarterbacks took practice reps on Thursday.

Freeman has completed a career-best 61.8 percent of his passes this season, his third overall. However, he has thrown just 12 touchdowns and 16 interceptions to date, just one year after tossing 25 touchdowns to six picks. If he's able to line up under center Sunday, he'll attempt to lead the Bucs to just their second win since Oct. 16, when they upset the New Orleans Saints behind Freeman's 303 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Two of our regional's teams are in a matchup this week that may be the lowlight of the entire NFL weekend.The Jaguars and the Buccaneers will play in a game that might have been considered a slam dunk win for the Bucs before the year. Now? Who knows. I'd rather go to the experts, first, at SB Nation Arizona.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars (+1): The line tells it all. This one is a toss up. The Jaguars are one of the worst offenses in the NFL while the Bucs have a horrible defense. What happens when those two things collide is an age old question in sports (Bad offense vs. Bad defense). When in doubt, go home. Pick: Jaguars

Next, our pals at SB Nation St. Louis.

Wow this is a horrible matchup. The Bucs are trying to plug holes on a defense that has given up 20 or more points in eight straight games, but the Jaguars are the second- worst scoring offense in the league (12.7 pts/gm). Something has to give, people! This game has local blackout written all over it. Even if Josh Freeman doesn't play, I think the Bucs break their six-game losing streak...not that it matter much at this point anyways. Pick: Bucs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Injury Report: Josh Freeman Limited With Shoulder Injury

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got back on the practice field today to get ready for their trip to EverBank Field to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bucs were missing quite a few players in practice today however, including three defensive players. Here are the list of players who were out with an injury:

DT Albert Haynesworth (knee), DE Tim Crowder (concussion), T James Lee (knee), TE Luke Stocker (hip), CB Aqib Talib (hamstring)

Tight end Kellen Winslow also missed practice, but it was not injury related.

Quarterback Josh Freeman was also listed on the injury report with a shoulder injury and was limited. Freeman is hopeful however, and expected to be available to start on Sunday. In some good news, defensive tackle Brian Price returned to practice in full and is expected to play.
