According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the decision to start Jennings is based on his preseason play and the fact that he has been at training camp. Rapoport added however, the frustration from the Jaguars' brass over Jones-Drew's holdout is dying down, even if it appears the holdout was fruitless. While MJD will be at the Jaguars' facility Sunday, other team members have the day off, meaning Jones-Drew will likely just meet with coaches. Again, this hasn't had a huge impact on our
Staff Rankings Matrix -- primarily because Jones-Drew's arrival was expected all along. The issue now is how much Jennings can make of his opportunity before Jones-Drew gets up to speed.
