Cecil Shorts

Jags WR Cecil Shorts III is waiting and seeing.

And while he did his waiting in pain Monday, the Jaguars’ third-year wide receiver said he hasn’t given up on the idea of playing Sunday.

As significantly, Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley hasn’t, either.

Shorts, who did not return after sustaining a sprained sternoclavicular joint – a joint near the clavicle and rib area – on the third play of a loss in Denver Sunday, hasn’t been ruled out of the team’s game this weekend against San Diego, Bradley said Monday.

Bradley said Shorts could play, but he's sore right now and the team wants to give it a few more days to see. Mike Brown would be next up if Shorts can't go. The Jags host the Chargers in Week 7 in a 1 p.m. game, so we'll know Shorts' status an hour before game time.
