Jones was the latest in a long list of players lost for the season. Receiver Jerry Porter (groin) could join him there.
The Jacksonville Jaguars retained one of their top free agents Wednesday when Jones re-signed with the team. Jones, who started 11 games last season after missing all of 2006 with a knee injury, was named the first alternate to the AFC Pro Bowl.

Jones has 856 yards rushing and nine touchdowns since the Jaguars drafted him in the second round in 2004. He also has 24 receptions for 178 yards and two scores. More important to the Jaguars, Jones has become one of their best blockers and helped create one of the NFL's top rushing attacks.
Jones will miss all of the 2006 season when he undergoes surgery to repair his torn ACL. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back started in 13 games last season. He rushed for 575 yards on 151 carries for four touchdowns. Derrick Wimbush and LaBrandon Toefield are expected to share duties to replace him.|||||||
