Jaguars rookie Marqise Lee leaves practice with tight hamstring, adds to team's WR woes

Published February 05, 2015

The Jacksonville Jaguars have another receiver on the injury report.

Rookie Marqise Lee, a second-round draft pick from USC, left practice Wednesday with tightness in a hamstring.

Lee's absence added to the team's receiver woes. Ace Sanders is suspended the first four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and Cecil Shorts III missed the opener with a hamstring injury.

Like Lee, Shorts took limited repetitions in practice. Coach Gus Bradley says getting Shorts some work "was a good step."

Shorts' injury also started as "tightness" last week, so Bradley laughed when asked about Lee's situation.

Bradley says, "I don't even know anymore what that means. OK, tightness. I don't know. We'll see."

Cornerback Dwayne Gratz (ankle), tight end Marcedes Lewis (knee) and running back Storm Johnson (ankle) also were limited in practice.
