Aaron Kampman has proven to be everything the Jaguars hoped for when they signed him from Green Bay, which is why the team has to be worried after he was injured at Thursdays practice.

Kampman underwent an MRI Thursday night with what might be a serious injury, according to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union. Kampman was coming off a torn ACL last season; its unclear if this injury was to the same knee.

Defensive tackle Tyson Alualu also hurt his knee at practice Wednesday and sat out Thursdays session, although that injury doesnt sound as gloomy as Kampmans problem. The Jaguars have been rather healthy on the whole this year.

Quite frankly, Im very happy we havent had super-significant injuries for the most part, Kampman said during the bye week. We lost [right tackle] Eben Britton, but I dont think weve lost any other starter. Thats a big part of it. If we can keep ourselves healthy, I think that will help.

Kampman was doing very good, consdering he was drawing some double teams, and the fact that pass rushers on the other side of their line combined for a whopping 1.5 sacks so far this season.

Season over for Kampman

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/

In only eight games, Aaron Kampman had transformed himself into the leader of the Jaguars defense, not to mention their best defensive lineman.

Jacksonville will have to move on without him after learning that Kampman suffered a torn ACL at practice Thursday, ending his season. Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio announced the move at his Friday press conference. Kampmans career in Green Bay ended with a torn ACL to his other knee, and he made a quick recovery to play well for the seasons first eight games.

Its a crushing blow for the beleaguered Jaguars defense. They have struggled to consistently pressure the passer, and will now have to turn back to recently benched former first-round pick Derrick Harvey. Kampman also represents a huge investment by the organization, which had been paying off. He received a $10 million signing bonus on a four-year deal.

In a deep AFC playoff picture, both the Jaguars and Texans cant afford to fall to 4-5 on Sunday. We seriously doubt Jacksonville can make a second half run because of their tough schedule, and this news will only make their task tougher.

He's getting to that age. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

True.......he's at that age where it will be even harder to rehab.

And now you know why I was so happy the Packers didn't bring him back.

Does anyone seriously think Al Harris' knee is going to hold up this season?

But Kampman tore his other ACL. So, his rehabbed knee held up. Just another freak accident.

You do realize that a good percentage of the NFL players have torn an ACL right?

I was for letting Kampman walk.. or more specifically trading him before the deadline last season, because he was a poor fit for the defense we deploy.

You can't call it a 3-4 defense either.. it is wild the number of alignments Dom trots upon the field.. and Kampman probably wouldn't have a spot here today either.. he just didn't have the same body angle/torque rushing the passer from the 2pt verses the 3pt.

I didn't realize it was his other knee. I stand corrected.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
