Jaguars expect Blaine Gabbert to miss this week

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.
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.
