This is obviously bad news for Jerry Porter fantasy football owners. Hamstring injuries can be nagging injuries that last all year long. If you have Porter on your team, you also have the risk of him re-injuring his hamstring at any point. That said, Porter is talented enough that he’s worthy of a mid to late round pick — even with his injury woes.

The Jaguars will definitely miss Porter. Luckily for Jacksonville, they have plenty of players who can fill in while he’s gone. Troy Williamson was a free agent who was signed this summer who has looked good so far for the Jags in practice. Reggie Williams, Dennis Northcutt, John Broussard and Mike Walker are also on the roster. Williams has the highest upside out of those four. And don’t forget that technically Matt Jones is still on the Jaguars’ roster, even though he recently got arrested for an incident that involved cocaine.

When will Jerry Porter return for the Jaguars?

This news very likely ends Jones career as a member of the Jaguars. After being picked in the first round, Jones had three consecutive underwhelming seasons — with 2007 being the worst of the bunch. Last season, 317 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games.

If you have Jones in a dynasty fantasy football league, it’s safe to waive him. If he doesn’t end up in jail, he’ll still have to find a new job in the NFL. Roger Goodell will undoubtedly have a suspension waiting for him when it is all said and done.

For the rest of the Jaguars, this isn’t too horrible of a loss. David Garrard should be able to do just fine without him. Jacksonville brought in a number of wide receivers in the offseason, including Jerry Porter. Jones may have been cut before the season just based on poor play. Now it’s a certainty.
