There are rumors on the NFL grapevine that Jaguars receiver Jerry Porter might have a hamstring injury, which might keep him out for a month, or longer.
It’s just a rumor at this point. We’ve got no corroboration or verification or any of the other stuff that separates “real” media from joints like this.
It could be right, it could be wrong. But since it involves a fairly innocuous subject (unlike, for example, a rumor that Porter or, say, Terry Bradshaw had died), we’ve got no qualms about putting it out there.
Porter was a high-profile free-agent acquisition of the Jags. He spent his entire career prior to that with the Raiders.

OK, ok — so it’s completely unsubstantiated.
But what does this have to do with Brett Favre ?
If Brett wants to play, why doesn’t he apply for reinstatement ?
Why does the BrettCamp say the ball is in Green Bay’s “court” ?
C’mon — it’s not-all-about Jerry Porter !!!

Wow! Jerry Porter got injured? I guess he figured that he would get started early on his annual NFL injury.

RUMORS FLY REGARDING RUMORS FLYING ABOUT JERRY PORTER INJURY.
Several pinheads have spread the rumor that NFLPA Executive director, Gene Upshaw, has died in a location suspiciously close to the site where, just today, NFL player Jerry Porter had already been killed by a frustrated Raiders’ fan. No word on if the two deaths are related, but sources agree that there was glee expressed on RaiderNation blogs throughout the country. At last word, several non-mouth-breathing, non-pinheads have dismissed the rumor regarding the rumor as nothing more than rumor. And spokesman for the two rumored-dead men have referred all inquiries to those quotations of Mark Twain which refer to demise.

Not even a link to support it? He missed a good chunk of OTAs with a hammy injury. How is this news?

Porter pulled a hammy in mid-July? Amazing he was healthy so long this year.
