Jacksonville Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings left Sunday's game against Minnesota with a knee injury, but head coach Mike Mularkey does not believe the injury is serious. Jennings' status for Week 2 is uncertain at this point.
Rashad Jennings’ Injury Not Believed To Be Serious
A knee injury limited Rashad Jennings to eight carries on Sunday.
Jennings, who tried to play through the injury, finished his day with eight carries for 31 yards. He started in place of Maurice Jones-Drew, who missed most of the preseason while holding out for a new contract. But if Jennings is forced to miss time because of this injury, Jones-Drew could be back in the feature back role more quickly than anticipated, as SB Nation Fantasy notes.
Jones-Drew finished Sunday's game with 19 carries for 77 yards. The Jaguars fell in overtime to the Vikings, 26-23.
