Jaguars CB Rashean Mathis (groin) has been ruled out for Week 12.
Jacksonville let Terrell Owens have a season-best, 197 yards without Mathis in Week 11. The Jags face San Francisco this Sunday without their top corner.
Jaguars signed DE Jeremy Navarre off their practice squad.
Navarre isn't explosive enough to help the Jags' lackluster pass rush. He'll be low on the depth chart behind starters Quentin Groves and Derrick Harvey.
Jaguars placed DE Bryan Smith (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season.
The injury was announced as a shoulder "sprain," but was likely at least a dislocation. Smith was recently promoted to the starting lineup at right defensive end, despite having zero sacks on the year. He'll have a roster spot in 2010, but the Jags would do well to find a better first-team option.
Torry Holt caught three passes for 31 yards in Week 11.
Holt was held to just one catch for 10 yards in the first half, and wasn't much better in the final two quarters. He has just 109 yards over the past four games and still hasn't found the end zone.
Mercedes Lewis caught three passes for 70 yards in Week 11.
Lewis has topped 70 yards only one other time this season. He made a few nice catches Sunday but remains a poor fantasy tight end.
Mike Sims-Walker snagged eight passes for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Bills.
Sims-Walker enjoyed another fine fantasy day as David Garrard's go-to receiver. He caught multiple third down passes and grabbed a game-winning three-yard touchdown with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter.
David Garrard completed 21-of-30 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11 against the Bills.
Garrard also ran in a game-clinching two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter. He had just 68 passing yards in the first half but eventually found throwing room with Maurice Jones-Drew capturing the Bills' attention. The Jaguars are 6-4, incredibly, and right in the AFC Wild Card hunt.
