Porter Pulls Hamstring, Good Thing It's May

Jaguars fans, try to remember to breathe. I know you don't want to hear that your $30 million receiver blew out a hammy in workouts last week. Just remind yourself, "It's only May ... It's only May ..."

To his credit, Jerry Porter is taking a very cautious approach to his recovery.

"I'll take it slow. I don't want to rush back into it because a hamstring can be a reoccurring thing if you don't respect it.

"A lot of things are accomplished in May and June, but championships aren't won in May and June."

Exactly. Porter won't play in a meaningful game for another three months. Why try to get back on the field for those "Organized Team Activities" now? It's not like he couldn't spend extra time in the film room with David Garrard and the other receivers, learning the playbook and discussing strategies, right?

I have a feeling Porter will be constantly telling reporters that his hamstring is fine when training camp starts. I suspect Jack Del Rio hopes that's true.
