The Jaguars could use a receiver, but do not count on the team turning to the troubled but talented Dez Bryant.

Jerry Porter likely will rejoin the Oakland Raiders, with whom he played from 2000 to 2007, before departing last year for a six-year, $30 million contract from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

As quickly as the Jaguars moved to shore up their roster last offseason, they have done the same this offseason. The Jaguars cut WR Jerry Porter and CB Drayton Florence, both of whom signed big free-agent contracts last year.

Matt Jones had developed into a viable fantasy option in 2008, posting 65 receptions, 761 yards and two touchdowns. Unless the Jaguars make a move in the offseason, he’ll enter next season as a starter and be worth a middle-to late-round selection in fantasy drafts.

Jacksonville tried turning around its season last Sunday with a dramatic victory over Indianapolis. Now the Jaguars will get another boost. For the first time this season, Jaguars high-priced free-agent wide receiver Jerry Porter is expected to play Sunday versus Houston.

Both the Colts and Jaguars head into Sunday’s matchup with several players banged up. Among the injured, it appears Jacksonville WR Jerry Porter could sit for the third consecutive week. He’s listed as questionable after being limited in practice on Friday with a hamstring injury.

The Jaguars brought WR Jerry Porter in this offseason with the hopes he would give the passing game a boost, but the team will have to wait. Porter will miss the season opener because of a hamstring injury.

It was a good news, bad news scenario at the wide receiver position for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday, as Jerry Porter participated in a full session but fellow wideout Reggie Williams was held out.
