Jags' Porter unlikely to make '08 debut vs. Colts

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jerry Porter likely will miss a third consecutive game Sunday at Indianapolis.

Although Porter (hamstring) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, coach Jack Del Rio said he doesn't believe the team's top offseason free-agent acquisition will play against the Colts.

"He's not likely to play. He's not quite ready," Del Rio said Friday.

Porter, who signed a $30 million contract in February, had surgery to repair a torn hamstring in July and missed all of training camp and the preseason. He returned to practice two weeks ago, but wasn't active in either game.

Without the big-play receiver, the Jaguars (0-2) have struggled on offense. The Jaguars will be without linebacker Justin Durant (groin), receiver Troy Williamson (thigh), center Brad Meester (biceps) and guard Chris Naeole (knee). "Durant's got a good pull," Del Rio said. "He's week to week and could miss another week." Del Rio said running backs Fred Taylor (toe) and Maurice Jones-Drew (ankle) and safety Brian Williams (toe) will play. The trio missed parts of practice this week.
