After a brief stint of covering the Florida high school football state finals and the start of the NBA season, I have once again returned to the Jacksonville locker room to find out what’s going on in the world of the Jags.
I had a chance to catch up with safety Dawan Landry earlier this afternoon (seeing as how he is one of the few players in the secondary NOT on injured/reserve) to discuss the upcoming game against the Titans, how he’d like to finish the season, and more:
More Bad News: Jags place CB Derek Cox on Injured/Reserve

The Jaguar’s secondary has taken another big blow:
The Jacksonville Jaguars today placed cornerback Derek Cox on injured reserve with a knee injury and signed first-year quarterback Dan LeFevour to a contract. LeFevour had been on the Indianapolis Colts practice squad.
Cox has started 33 games since he was drafted in the third round of the 2009 draft. He started six games in 2011 and finished with 16 tackles and 10 passes defensed. He led the club in interceptions in each of his first two seasons.
LeFevour, 6-3, 230, was a sixth-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2010. He was claimed off waivers by Cincinnati on Sept. 5, 2010 and spent the entire season on the Bengals 53-man roster, though he was inactive for all 16 games as the third quarterback. LeFevour spent the 2011 preseason with the Bengals before he was waived on final cuts. He was signed to the Colts practice squad on Nov. 9.
A native of Lisle, Illinois, LeFevour was a four-year starter at Central Michigan. He finished his career by completing 1,171 of 1,763 passes (66.4 pct.) for 12,905 yards with 102 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. He added 2,948 rushing yards and 47 touchdowns. His 150 total touchdowns are the most in the NCAA Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I) while his 15,853 yards of total offense rank second. LeFevour is the only player in NCAA history with 12,000 career passing yards and 2,500 career rushing yards. A four-time All-MAC selection, he holds conference records for total offense, passing yards, touchdown passes, completions and attempts.
As a senior, LeFevour was named MAC Offensive Player of the Year and received 13 points in balloting for the Heisman Trophy. He graduated in December of 2009 with a bachelor of applied arts degree. He attended Benet High School in Illinois and lettered in football and basketball.
LeFevour will wear jersey number 13.
Jags CB William Middleton and the increased role he’ll play from here on out

With Rashean Mathis going on the injured/reserved list, CB William Middleton is going to see an increased workload. He’s had the chance this season to step in for Derek Cox as well and has tallied two interceptions for the Jags. I had a chance to ask him a few questions about transitioning from a special teams guy to most likely a defensive starter: JB with William Middleton
