JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars right tackle Leon Searcy
underwent surgery on the tendon above his right knee Thursday, and
the team got more bad news when punter Bryan Barker sprained his
ankle during practice.

Barker is out indefinitely, as is fullback Daimon Shelton, who
had surgery to repair a broken finger on his left hand.
Searcy tore his quadriceps in practice Monday. Jaguars coach Tom
Coughlin said Searcy's surgery went well but he was noncommital
about his status for the season. Searcy is hoping for a return in
three or four months.
"I'll listen to what the doctors have to say and then try to
evaluate the circumstances that surround either putting him on
injured reserve or keeping him on the roster," Coughlin said.
Searcy can't play the remainder of the season if he goes on
injured reserve.
Barker suffered a lateral sprain of his right ankle while
kicking in the morning practice.
X-rays were negative. Coughlin said Steve Lindsay, signed last
year to handle kickoffs, will take over the punting duties until
the team signs another punter. | |
