You Should Know – Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings, in an interview with the team’s site, is “beyond great, beyond excited” for the 2012 season.  Last year, plans were for him to get more carries to allow Maurice Jones-Drew extra rest.  In the third game of the preseason, Jennings sustained a knee injury.  Eight days later, he was placed on injured reserve.  He said, “It was the best decision for the team at the time.  I wish it wouldn’t have happened, but I’m so glad it did.”  Jennings, who was drafted by the Jags in the 2009 seventh round, wants to return to pre-injury form.
