The Jaguars may have just two holdover wide receivers from the 2008 squad when they open this year's regular season in Indianapolis.

Unless the club picks up a released veteran between now and the opener, Jacksonville will likely have six receivers on the roster with the following identity. One veteran (Torry Holt) who some are saying doesn't have the moves anymore that earned him half a dozen trips to the Pro Bowl, two other receivers (Mike Walker and Troy Williamson) who missed a combined 15 games due to injuries last year and who caught a combined 21 passes in 17 games, and three rookies who will play in their first NFL game.

That's a group that won't scare a lot of opposing defenders right now.
