The Jacksonville Jaguars were already historical underdogs
entering this weekend’s contest against the Denver Broncos. They’re now slated
to face the Broncos without their starting quarterback. Head coach Gus Bradley
said during yesterday’s press conference that he expects Gabbert to need at
least one week off after suffering his hamstring injury against the St. Louis
Rams.
Beyond missing the team’s upcoming contest against the
Broncos, Bradley considers Gabbert to be “week to week.” In addition to Bradley's comments, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports that Gabbert could miss an extended stretch due to his hamstring injury.
Jaguars may lose QB Blaine Gabbert for an extended period of time. Source says he heard his hamstring pop. No definitive time table tho

While it’s never good for a team to lose its starting signal
caller, Jacksonville’s backup, Chad Henne, has posted superior numbers to
Gabbert early this season. Henne has completed 55.8 percent of his passes for a
quarterback rating of 73.2 percent compared to Gabbert’s marks of 48.8 and 36.0
percent.
