NFL.com - Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew might not be 100 percent when the season begins after bruising his lower right leg during Thursday night's 24-17 preseason-ending victory over the Washington Redskins.
X-rays on the leg were negative, but Jones-Drew is scheduled to have an MRI exam Friday. Although Jones-Drew has been fairly durable in three seasons, he could be slowed heading into the Sept. 13 season opener at Indianapolis.
Jones-Drew hurt his leg on the opening series when Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot tackled him following a short reception. Jones-Drew exchanged words with Smoot and safety LaRon Landry before leaving the field, then slammed his helmet to the ground and headed to the locker room.

UPDATE: MJD is fine, just as bruise.
