Following up on an ongoing story. ... The Jaguars' highest-profile free-agent acquisition, Porter is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a hamstring tendon that has been slow to heal, HC Jack Del Rio confirmed Friday. The Jaguars are hopeful that Porter will be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener at Tennessee. "Jerry had a successful surgical repair to a hamstring tendon that had continued to bother him," Del Rio said. "We expect a complete recovery in time for the regular season."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Porter initially suffered the hamstring injury during an offseason practice in May, and it was diagnosed as a strain. With Porter possibly out of the lineup for all of camp, the team must reshuffle its depth chart, which includes Reggie Williams as the No. 2 receiver and Dennis Northcutt as the No. 3. According to Times-Union staffer Michael Wright, Williams or Northcutt likely will slide into the No. 1 and No. 2 slots. Mike Walker, a former third-round draft pick, and Troy Williamson, acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings, are the likely candidates to man the third and fourth spots.
