Jaguars hold out Jones-Drew for second consecutive practice

Published: Dec 16, 2010 at 07:50 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew missed his second day of practice Thursday as the team prepares for a critical AFC South showdown with the Indianapolis Colts.

Jones-Drew also was held out Wednesday with what *The Florida Times-Union* described as a knee ailment.

Jones-Drew has recorded six consecutive 100-yard rushing performances as the Jaguars positioned themselves to potentially earn a postseason birth. A win at Indianapolis on Sunday would give the Jaguars the AFC South title. The Colts have won the division six of the last seven years.

Also not practicing Thursday for the Jaguars were linebacker Justin Durant and cornerback Terrence Wheatley.
