Jacksonville Jaguars 10/23/2007 9:31 AMThe Florida Times-Union reports QB David Garrard kept his no-interception streak alive Monday night in the Jaguars' 29-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Unfortunately, the game ended early for the Jaguars' starting quarterback, who suffered a left ankle sprain early in the second quarter and never returned after halftime. It appears Garrard's season could be interrupted as well. "He's got a pretty good sprain on there, so I would think that in all likelihood, he'll be missing some time," Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said after the game. "He tweaked it pretty good."Read more
Cincinnati Bengals 10/23/2007 9:29 AMThe Dayton Daily News reports trade Chad Johnson? Are the Bengals really serious? If they are ... So be it," Johnson said Monday. "It doesn't bother me. There's always some truth to things that are said. Always." NFL insider Chris Mortensen sparked the controversy on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" prior to Cincinnati's 38-31 victory over the New York Jets. "A prominent member of the Bengals organization told me the organization does have a decision to make on Chad Johnson â that he is so passionate and proud that if they decided to discipline him for some of those antics, they believe he would shut it down," Mortensen said. "So how he finishes the rest of the year and (how) the Bengals finish could bring them to a crossroads discussion on whether to even trade Chad Johnson in the offseason. That's a ways off, but it could be a part of their offseason discussion." HC Marvin Lewis praised Johnson as "a team player" and said he never spoke to ESPN about Johnson.Read more
