Blaine Gabbert Should Be Fine After Injury

Blaine Gabbert Expected To Play Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert is expect to play in Week 3 as the team faces the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Mike Mularkey.

Gabbert left Sunday's game -- a 27-7 loss to the Houston Texans at home -- with what was called a "strain" of his hamstring, and received a MRI following the game. Further test results indicated that Gabbert's injury was a little higher up than a "traditional" hamstring injury.

Mularkey said Gabbert's injury is more of a glute (butt muscle) than a hamstring. Thinks Gabbert will be limited Wednesday.#jaguars

Gabbert was a meager 7-19 for 53 yards on a day that saw only 117 total yards from the Jags. Backup Chad Henne had two completed passes in relief of Gabbert.

Blaine Gabbert Injury: Jaguars QB Getting MRI

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert will undergo an MRI on Monday to explore hamstring and toe injuries. Gabbert was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Houston Texans early, though there didn't appear to be too much concern over the injury at that time. Head coach Mike Mularkey called the injury a strain and said they decided to keep Gabbert out of action so as not to risk making it worse.

Blaine Gabbert Injury Brings In Chad Henne

Chad Henne is replacing Blaine Gabbert in Jacksonville as the Jaguars are getting beat down by the Houston Texans. Gabbert has an ice pack on his left thigh so it's actually an injury that's giving Henne his shot.

It's unclear exactly what the injury is or whether it's serious. Henne was brought on as a backup in the offseason, one of the better backup options in the league.

Gabbert has not looked great in the Jaguars game, completing only 7-of-19 passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. You couldn't blame the Jaguars if they decided to make a change at quarterback, injury or not. No interceptions is a good start for Gabbert but averaging less than three yards per completion is not.
