Jags WR Jerry Porter Out Entire Preseason With Injury

Count wide receiver Jerry Porter out of Jaguars training camp and the entire preseason. The team's highest-profile free-agent acquisition, Porter is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a hamstring tendon that has been slow to heal, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said Friday. The Jaguars are hopeful that Porter will be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener at Tennessee. "Jerry had a successful surgical repair to a hamstring tendon that had continued to bother him," Del Rio said. "We expect a complete recovery in time for the regular season." Porter, 30, initially suffered the hamstring injury during an offseason practice in May, and it was diagnosed as a strain. Expected to enter the season as the Jaguars' No. 1 receiver, Porter signed a six-year deal worth more than $30 million at the start of free agency.

I really like Jerry. I thought he just needed a change from Oakland. I think he is very skilled and will really impress this year.

Im telling you, healthy this guy is a beast. He is basically a mini T.O. He is very strong and can make tough catches.
