Jaguars Upgrade Brunell
Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell was upgraded to questionable for Monday night’s game against Pittsburgh, and Jaguar Coach Tom Coughlin said he expects him to take more snaps every day until then.
Still, Coughlin did not say Thursday whether Brunell, who tore knee ligaments Aug. 9, would be able to start or even play.
Meanwhile, backup Rob Johnson was held out of practice for the second consecutive day because of a sprained left ankle.
