JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Injured Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew won't discuss his status for the season opener against Indianapolis. He did say Monday he was angry when the hit happened.

Jones-Drew bruised his right shin in Jacksonville's final preseason game against the Redskins. Jones-Drew, who signed a five-year, $30.95 million contract in April and is expected to be the workhorse of the Jaguars offense, was injured on a tackle by Washingtons Fred Smoot on the teams first drive of the game.

The Jaguars won 24-17 last Thursday.

The fourth-year player, who scored 14 touchdowns in 2008, watched practice Monday after spending time on a stationary bicycle.
