Neo Workxx » Tennessee?(8-6) on Saturday afternoon.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Eric Ebron walked without a limp onto the practice field about 30 minutes after the rest of the Detroit Lions began practicing Monday.Afterward, Ebron ignored questions from reporters and Caldwell declined to shed light on anything related to the injury suffered by the tight end over the weekend.Only one thing is clear: Detroits backup tight ends are going to get a great opportunity to earn playing time and perhaps a spot on the final roster.Undrafted rookie Cole Wick and journeyman Matthew Mulligan are the leading candidates to get a lot of snaps Tuesday through Thursday during practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers and against them Friday night in an exhibition game.Wick, an undrafted rookie from the University of the Incarnate Word in Texas, said he had offers to sign with Carolina, Oakland, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay along with a few other teams before accepting the Lions offer. Wick took the only option he had to play in college and his position coach was Larry Moore, who made it in the NFL as an undrafted rookie and played for three teams from 1998 to 2005.Im just going to do my best with the reps that Im giving at this point and try to capitalize on all opportunities, Wick said.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Wick tried to make the most of Ebron going from the top player at the position to a tutor of sorts on Monday.He has been a great mentor, Wick said. If Im taking a step too shallow hes there to tell me. Hes helping me with routes, footwork and blocking.Mulligan has 17 career catches since making his league debut in 2009 with the New York Jets. Adam Fuehne, Orson Charles and Ben McCord are the other tight ends on Detroits roster.Obviously they get a little bit more reps, which I think is always good and guys have to take advantage of it, Caldwell said. When your rep count goes up youve got to make certain that youre playing well. Obviously you see them catch a few balls here and there, but theres a lot more to it than that.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Youre going to have some injuries happen all the time that way, Caldwell said. You hope they dont, but sometimes they do.The Lions were hoping Calvin Johnson would return for a 10th season, but the superstar receiver chose to retire. That led to them counting even more on Ebron, drafted No. 10 overall in 2014, in the passing game this season.They might have to come up with Plan B. Ebron had 47 receptions for 537 yards and five touchdowns. If healthy, he seemed set up to have the best year of his career.Even before Detroits best tight end was hurt, it didnt have much depth at the position.Brandon Pettigrew is recovering from a torn knee ligament late last year and might not be healthy enough to start the season. Tim Wright, another veteran, had a season-ending knee injury earlier this year.You have to be able to adjust, Caldwell said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars players knew that coach Gus Bradley was eventually going to be fired -- it wasnt exactly a secret -- but the way it unfolded Sunday night was a bit of a surprise, especially when the team had Bradley return to Jacksonville on the team charter.That didnt sit particularly well with defensive tackle?SenDerrick Marks.Yeah, that sucked, Marks said Tuesday. If I had an opinion on if I thought that was the right move, I dont think that was the right way to do it. He had to ride the plane home back that way, but that aint my call. They did it. They made the move.Gus was very cordial about it. Spoke with everybody. Came through the plane shaking hands and just talking with people. Gus has always been a great person in that aspect, but I dont think we as players were in the mood or were ready to actually see that at that moment.Bradley did speak with many players, assistant coaches and team personnel on the two-hour flight from Houston to Jacksonville. Some players admitted it felt awkward, with them not knowing what to say. Others lamented that they were able to speak with Bradley, whom they admire and have worked with for nearly four years, for only a few moments.Its a tough situation, because you love the guy and you know this is it; were going home for the last time with him, and then were not going to get a chance to have him in the building again, linebacker Paul Posluszny said.Making the situation even more awkward was that a lot of players found out about the firing via social media. Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell informed Bradley that he was being dismissed as the players were leaving the locker room at NRG Stadium following Sundays 21-20 loss to Houston.Jaguars oowner Shad Khan and Caldwell made the decision to fire Bradley the day before the Houston game, but Caldwell waited until afterward to tell Bradley.dddddddddddd There was no formal announcement made to the team.Sitting on the bus waiting to go to the airport, and the things start popping up on social media, Posluszny said. Thats how we found out, so it was very surprising.The players had Monday to reflect but have had to put their feelings regarding Bradley behind them because they dont have the luxury of extra time. Its a short week, with the Jaguars (2-12) hosting?Tennessee?(8-6) on Saturday afternoon.Theres no time to sit and reflect on our time with Coach Bradley or what happened and why, Posluszny said. We have the Tennessee Titans, and they beat us bad last time, so we have to start preparing immediately for that.Its not that the players are uncaring -- they liked Bradley -- but the schedule of weekly games means that reflection and contemplation must take place in the offseason.It sucks from being a player and understanding how this business works, but the train stops for no one, defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. We cant sit here and pout and be upset, because we have a game Saturday.It was the same [today]. Guys were ready to go to work. This has been a lot of talk for a while now. It sucks, but when JO [defensive end Jared Odrick] got injured, we didnt sit here and mope around for JO, you know? It is what it is. The train doesnt stop for anybody. Gus got fired. Weve got to keep rolling and go out here and win some games, or Khans going to fire one of us, too. ' ' '
