SportsLine.com has learned that Jaguars running back Fred Taylor met with the specialist Tuesday morning and was told that his injured groin is still not healed. Taylor has been practicing the past three weeks and the Jaguars had hoped he would have been back in the lineup already. However, he has been unable to run full speed and now comes word that he will continue be sidelined. "Dr. Uribe said he has a major injury and that after eight weeks, it's still not healed and is going to take some more time getting healthy," Taylor's agent Drew Rosenhaus said. "He wasn't sure specifically how much time Fred would miss but it's a major tear, he tore the groin muscle off the bone. Dr. Uribe said this is the type of injury that could often take a minimum of three months before it is healed." Taylor injured the groin in the first half of the team's second game of the year. He made a cut in the middle of the field and suddenly stopped, let go of the ball and dropped. "It's going to be very unfair for anyone to assume he will play any time in the immediate future," said Rosenhaus. "He's just not healthy yet. He can't run full speed without tremendous pain. The Jaguars have done a very good job in working him but he's still in pain. "It's not just the groin but he also has pain in the hip now, which is an off-shoot of the groin. But he's still healing and he shouldn't play at this time and when the Jaguars talk to him later today, I'm sure they'll have the same feeling." In Taylor's absence, the Jaguars have played musical chairs in the backfield. Stacey Mack has been the primary replacement, but youngsters Frank Moreau and Elvis Joseph have also been given shots. Mack started Sunday's game and will likely remain with the first team in the immediate future. "He's doing everything he can to get back in as soon as possible," said the Florida-based agent. "Remember, we entered the season primed to play and receive a big contract extension so nobody wants in there more than Fred. "But the doctor recommends that he is progressing at a good pace and it depends on how the injury heals. He said he has seen guys miss an entire season with this. But at the same time, it's such a vague injury. Fred may wake up next week and suddenly feel great. At the same time, it could take several weeks. We don't know. We only know he's healing but shouldn't play at this time." [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This makes sense as the Jaguars have been very vague about Taylor's health. Clearly, bad news for Taylor owners. Stacey Mack and Elvis Joseph get an extension but they've come up pretty small so far. As Dr. Coshal, our Footballguys.com Team Doc mentioned way back when Taylor was injured, this is a serious deal. Stay tuned but for now it's not looking good. Thanks to Footballguy Jeff White for pointing me to this one. Joe /**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/ Bryant Analytics, Inc.
