Jones-Drew ran 13 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals.|||||||
Despite Sunday's effort, Jones-Drew is running for 4.9 yards per carry.
Jones-Drew ran 12 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to Houston.|||||||

After skipping training camp in protest over his contract, Jones-Drew rushed for 77 yards on 19 carries during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss at Minnesota.|||||||
Jones-Drew wasn't expected to receive much work but ended up carrying the load after Rashad Jennings exited with a knee injury. He faces a tough task next week against Houston's stifling defense but should still be considered a top-10 option, especially if Jennings can't play.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated running back Maurice Jones-Drew and waived second-year running back Keith Toston.|||||||
