JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without two of their most productive offensive weapons for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Rushing leader Maurice Jones-Drew has an injured hamstring and receptions leader Cecil Shorts has a hurt groin. Both missed a second straight day of practice due to their injuries.

Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley says both could practice on Friday but that it could “go all the way up to game-time with those two guys.”

“I don’t know that I can answer that,” Bradley replied when asked which of the two offensive threats would be more likely to play on Sunday. “Both are very questionable. We’ve got our fingers crossed on both of those guys.”

Shorts is 223 yards short of a 1,000-yard season. He had 979 a year ago.
