Jaguars standout receiver Cecil Shorts saw his most extensive work this preseason in Atlanta’s 24-14 win to conclude the exhibition schedule Thursday night at EverBank Field.

After playing 15 snaps last week against Detroit in his debut, Shorts was in the game until the midway point of the second quarter against the Falcons.

After the game, Shorts stated that he was ready for the season.

“Everything’s a go,” Shorts said. “I’m 100 percent.”

Shorts gutted through a sports hernia on his way to a 66-777-3 season. The 55-979-7 line he posted in 2012 (his second season) is a better indication of what he’s capable of. The addition of Marqise Lee, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns should actually help Shorts avoid double coverage. This offense has some upside if the team finally decides to start Blake Bortles.

Jaguars WRs Cecil Shorts III and Allen Robinson will be out another week. That’s the bad news for the Jaguars.

The significantly better news is that Shorts could be back the following week against Detroit, and Robinson – like Shorts, one of the Jaguars’ top three receivers – may not be long after that.

Neither is a long-term injury and in the case of Shorts, if he can get repetitions in the final two preseason games he’ll be ready for the regular-season opener.

Their return will be good news for the Jags as a story broke yesterday that HC Gus Bradley would like to see more from rookie WR Marquis Lee. If anything, Robinson's return would likely push Lee a bit more than he has been in camp. Shorts looks to be considered one of the two starters at WR.

Jaguars rookie receiver Marqise Lee spent the entire open locker room period this morning sleeping in a cozy, leather chair. It wasn’t because he ran himself to exhaustion in Friday night’s win over Tampa Bay.

Lee played 16 snaps for the Jaguars, but didn’t have a catch and wasn’t even the intended receiver on a pass. His night was done when Chad Henne left the game.

Coach Gus Bradley had strong words for the second-round pick from USC:

“I think that’s one of those things we’re looking at – it’s the consistency. Run your routes [like the football] is coming to you. You can’t change speeds. You can’t choose when and when not to. I’ve told you before that I’ve seen him switch to where he’s more focused.

“I’d like to visit with him about what happened [Friday]. He did play good, but he could have done some things even more precise. It wasn’t exactly where we need him to be.”

That's strong public criticism from Bradley and it will be interesting on Monday to see if coach and rookie did meet. Lee seems penciled in as one of the starting receivers once the season starts, thanks in part to injuries to fellow rookie Allen Robinson and Cecil Shorts.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie receiver Allen Robinson will miss extended time with another hamstring injury.

Robinson strained his right hamstring in practice Thursday. It's the same leg that kept him out during organized team activities.

Jaguars writer John Oehser said that Robinson's availability for Week 1 is not in jeopardy, but the repeated hamstring injuries are worrisome. Marqise Lee will have the opportunity to distance himself and win the starting job opposite Cecil Shorts, who is also out with a hamstring injury.
