AFC South: Josh Vaughn
Jags place Ingram on IR, sign Daniels
Ingram suffered a shoulder injury Dec. 13 against Miami. Undrafted rookie Russell Allen worked in Ingram’s place in the loss to the Colts. Allen led the team with a dozen tackles.
The Jaguars had three roster spots because they recently released Kennard Cox and James Wyche.
To fill out their roster, they signed veteran free agent linebacker Tank Daniels and signed rookie tight end Zach Potter and center Cecil Newton off the practice squad to the 53-man roster. In addition, running back Josh Vaughan was signed to the practice squad.
The Jaguars will miss Ingram in New England and Cleveland in their final two games, but his loss isn’t a deal-breaker for a team that is one spot outside of the playoffs.
Daniels has been with the Eagles twice as well as the Giants. He has played in 26 regular season games and nine playoff games, including Super Bowl XLII.

Loving all 42 seconds, 13 laterals of Jags' final play
Ryan Robinson of Jaguars.com looked at the final play of Thursday night's Jacksonville-Philadelphia game and came up with these numbers: it lasted 42 seconds and 15 people touched the ball.
"Trailing by one point with 10 seconds remaining, the Jaguars offense started their final drive from their own 23-yard line. Following an incomplete pass on the first play, quarterback Paul Smith hit rookie wideout Todd Peterson for a 19-yard reception as time expired. That is when things got wacky, with 13 laterals that saw every position on offense touch the ball. Here is the play-by-play:
"Peterson to Jarett Dillard to Josh Vaughan to Peterson to Smith to Tiquan Underwood to Tyler Lorenzen to Underwood to Dillard to Smith to Underwood to Cameron Stephenson to Peterson to Lorenzen. After 42 seconds, Lorenzen was finally tackled at the Jaguars 42-yard line for a 19-yard gain on the play."
Some might question why the team went to such lengths on the final play of a preseason game. But a touchdown would have turned a 33-32 loss into a win, and I thought the innovation and effort far outweighed the risk of injury. If I am Jack Del Rio or special teams coach Russ Purnell, I applaud my guys for that.
The longer the Jaguars kept it alive the more certain I felt someone was going to find a lane and be able to get in range of the end zone and maybe flip it back once more to someone who could finish against a tired defense.
Alas it was not to be.
