Jones apologizes for embarrassing Jaguars

The Jaguars planned to put Porter on the physically unable to perform list and said Williams would miss at least the first few days of camp because of a sprained right knee.

The injuries could open the door for Jones, who caught 101 passes for 1,392 yards and 13 touchdowns in his first three seasons.

"I think every year the players have to come out and have to earn their spots on the team, and I don't see any difference this year," Jones said. "You always have something to prove going into camp. ... You make mistakes and it's how you overcome them. And that's what we're going to try to do is just get into camp and worry about making a spot on the team."

Teammates supported Jones as they arrived for the first team meeting Friday.

"He's a man, just like all of us. We're all human," running back Fred Taylor said. "We all make mistakes. The thing is, you can't do it twice. That's my teammate. As long as he's my teammate, I'm going to support him. I spoke to him. He said he apologized for letting people down. He feels bad about what happened, but it's time to focus on football.

"My job as a veteran guy is to keep him away from distractions and talk to him and say, 'That's done with. It's in the past.' It's going to be handled by the law, one, (NFL commissioner Roger) Goodell, two, and the organization, three."
