Knee injury will keep Jaguars RB Jennings out for season

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed backup running back Rashad Jennings on season-ending injured reserve Saturday and waived safety Don Carey, who started 10 games last season.

Jennings, a seventh-round draft pick in 2009, became a reliable backup to Maurice Jones-Drew last season. Jennings played in 13 games and had three starts, rushing for a career-high 459 yards with four touchdowns.

Jennings injured his knee during a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago and was seen on crutches last week, according to The Florida Times-Union.

The Jaguars also placed cornerback David Jones, defensive end Aaron Morgan, running back Richard Murphy and defensive tackle D'Anthony Smith on IR.

The team acquired defensive back Dwight Lowery in a trade with the New York Jets, allowing the team to part ways with Carey.

Other notable players waived were running back DuJuan Harris, defensive end Larry Hart and cornerback Terrence Wheatley. Return specialist Scotty McGee was waived/injured. If he clears waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve list.

Three undrafted rookies made Jacksonville's 53-man roster: cornerback Kevin Rutland, offensive tackle Cameron Bradfield and wide receiver Jamar Newsom.
