The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars rookie WR Matt Jones (hamstring) was injured at practice during the team's minicamp Friday, April 29. He strained his left hamstring and missed most of the afternoon practice. Jones is not sure when he will return. The injury ruined what was an otherwise spectacular debut for Jones.

That's a bummer..even if it's Dat Dud.

PacMan Jones got hurt today in his first practice as well.

Speedy recovery to all of them, and fingers crossed re our own.

It's the "running around" that causes hamstring pulls, not the contact.

I think we'd better get used to hearing about Matt Jones injuries. There is a reason you don't hear about many 6-6 240+ guys running sub 4.4. Running that speed with that kind of momentum, I'd expect he puts more strain on his ligaments and tendons than most normal players. Plus he's a long strider and his Change of Dirrection leaves a little to be desired. Just a really risky combination.

Reminds me of a guy I ran with in High School. His fast twitch muscle fibers were so over powering that he would often hurt his hamstrings just reaching full speed. He regularlly had to throtle his speed just to run 100 meters.

Good luck and speedy recovery to all of them though.

I agree. I expect Matt Jones to come out and make a few highlight reel plays then spend 3 games on IR.
