Meester out for eight weeks or more

Brad Meester, Jacksonville Jaguars center, had surgery on his biceps muscle and will miss eight to 10 weeks and return sometime before week seven of the regular season.

Wide receiver Reggie Williams, who came on last season after several years of appearing like a first-round bust, had knee surgery and will miss two to three weeks.

Tough way to start camp for a team with deep playoff aspirations. The Jags wide receiver corp is stretched with Williams out and Matt Jones facing drug charges – and looking like another potential first round bust. The acquisition of Troy Williamson during the offseason looked like a minor deal, but the Jags now might need the former Viking – also a first round bust, at least in Minnesota.

The Jags have Dennis Norman to fill in at center. He played the position last year too after Meester was lost to injury.
