Sun Feb 9 201409:37Jaguars see OL Will Rackley as swing guy
Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said the team only sees LG Will Rackley as a "swing guy."
Rackley, the 76th pick in the 2011 draft, has started 25-of-26 games he's appeared in at left guard but was thoroughly destroyed both as a run and pass blocker this past season. Caldwell says the team has given him some looks at center in practice, so he could be potential interior line depth. The Florida Times-Union considers left guard and center major areas of need for the Jaguars.

Jacques McClendon should get the start in Week 16.

Mon Aug 27 201223:17Will Rackley has setback with ankle
Jaguars LG Will Rackley suffered a setback in his recovery from a high ankle sprain and is out indefinitely.
Rackley was one of the worst starting offensive linemen in football as a rookie, so there may be no falloff in Jacksonville's run blocking and pass pro at left guard. The Jaguars are thinning fast on the O-Line, though. G/C Jason Spitz is lost for the season, and the Jags didn't draft a single lineman in April.

Jaguars LG Will Rackley (high-ankle sprain) returned to practice on Saturday.

Wed Aug 1 201211:28Rackley out 3-4 weeks with high ankle sprain
Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey says LG Will Rackley will miss the next 3-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain.
It's an optimistic timetable for a high ankle sprain, keep in mind. Rackley struggled in 14 rookie-year starts, but the Jags were hoping for a significant year-two leap. Instead, they may have to turn to journeyman-caliber Jason Spitz at left guard. Rackley will be in a race to regain his job before Week 1.

Tue Aug 23 201117:07Rookie Rackley wins starting left guard job
Third-rounder Will Rackley has beaten out veteran Jason Spitz for the Jaguars' starting left guard job.
A favorite of NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Rackley was a four-year starter at left tackle for small-school Lehigh. His power won out over Spitz's finesse, which is a rare piece of good news for Maurice Jones-Drew this season. A possible free agent bust, Spitz is expected to play a reserve role at center and guard.
