Garrard Sidelined for Month: Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard will be sidelined for at least a month with a severe left ankle sprain.
The veteran from East Carolina sprained the ankle in the first half of a 29-7 Monday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Garrard inherited the Jaguars’ starting job when the team cut former starter Byron Leftwich a week before the regular season. He had led the Jags to a 4-1 record this season, completing 66 % of his passes for 1,141 yards and six TDs.
Quinn Gray, a fourth-year QB from Florida A&M, relieved Garrard in the Colts game. Gray will make his first start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
