Blaine Gabbert could miss significant time

It doesn’t get much worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars — though the New York Giants are giving them a run for their money — and it looks like they could once again have a decision to make at quarterback following this past weekend’s loss to the St. Louis Rams.

Starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert injured his hamstring during the game, which could lead to Chad Henne taking over once again if the former top ten pick misses significant time.

From Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:

Jaguars may lose QB Blaine Gabbert for an extended period of time. Source says he heard his hamstring pop. No definitive time table tho

This may not be too bad for the Jaguars, though.

Gabbert has been awful during his time as a starter and Henne has the arm to get the ball to Cecil Shorts III and Justin Blackmon.

The Jaguars don’t have much of anything to play for at this point, so they can just see what Henne can provide and prepare for the 2014 NFL Draft.
