Jul 25 The Associated Press reports the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to place WR Jerry Porter (hamstring) on the physically unable to perform list. KFFL

Jul 19 WR Jerry Porter's status for the team's Sept. 7 season opener is uncertain following hamstring surgery that is expected to keep him out four to six weeks. Porter signed a six-year, $30 million contract to be the team's go-to receiver, but not will miss at least the entire preseason. Yahoo! Sports

Jul 18 Porter had surgery Friday to repair a torn hamstring tendon and the Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver will miss at least the entire preseason. Team doctors thought the injury would heal before training camp, but they decided Friday that surgery would be the best option to ensure Porter would be healthy during the season. The Jaguars said Porter would be out six to eight weeks, with hopes that he could be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener at Tennessee.

Advice: Porter signed a six-year, $30 million contract with Jacksonville in February and was supposed to give the team its first go-to receiver since Jimmy Smith retired. But he missed most of minicamp and organized team activities with hamstring problems.
