Jaguars preparing to go with Edwards or Bouman at QB

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars quarterback David Garrard rested at home for the second consecutive day, increasing the chances that Trent Edwards or Todd Bouman will start Sunday at Kansas City.

Garrard sustained a concussion in Monday night's 30-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans and hasn't been back to the Jaguars' facility since. Coach Jack Del Rio said Garrard will be evaluated late this week, and the team is preparing to play without the ninth-year veteran.

The team will release Garrard's game status Friday, but having missed most of team meetings and practices, it's unlikely he will return against the Chiefs.

Edwards also could be out. He sprained his right thumb against the Titans and sat out practice Wednesday. If Edwards can't play, Bouman would make his first start since 2005.

Jaguars cut ties with Bouman, making Edwards No. 2 QB

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Trent Edwards will return to Buffalo as the Jaguars' backup quarterback.

The Jaguars released veteran Todd Bouman on Tuesday, leaving Edwards as the only quarterback behind David Garrard. The 2-2 team plays the winless Bills on Sunday.

The Jaguars also signed sixth-year defensive lineman C.J. Mosley, who has played in 59 games for the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and Cleveland Browns.

A sixth-round draft pick by the Vikings in 2005, Mosley has eight career sacks and 80 tackles. He spent last season with the Browns, but he ended the campaign on injured reserve.

Mosley likely will play defensive tackle for the Jaguars, who have given up on former first-round pick Derrick Harvey. Versatile Jeremy Mincey is expected to take Harvey's repetitions, leaving Jacksonville with four defensive tackles.
