JAGS SEND MIKE PETERSON HOME
Posted by Josh Alper on November 5, 2008, 3:55 p.m.

Jaguars linebacker Mike Peterson was sent home from practice Wednesday, reports the Florida Times-Union.

There was no reason given for his departure, though the team said he’ll likely be listed on the practice report as missed practice without an injury. Jags coach Jack Del Rio plans to release a statement about Peterson’s departure after practice.

The move may be related to some other housekeeping Del Rio did on Wednesday. Locker locations were shifted all around the room, for reasons unknown to players who spoke to the Orlando Sentinel, although Fred Taylor said he thought it had nothing to do with improving chemistry among the 3-5 Jaguars.

Peterson leads the team with 48 tackles. He is in the final year of his contract and has expressed displeasure about his lack of a new deal in the past.

Per PFT.com. I'd love to have him play for us.

He could be a good FA signing @ a low cost

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jaguars had a much different feel to their locker room Wednesday. There was no one playing dominoes, no one blaring music and no one watching television.

There was no Mike Peterson, either. Coach Jack Del Rio sent the middle linebacker and team captain home Wednesday, two days after Del Rio questioned his team's chemistry.

It was unclear what prompted Del Rio's decision, but there was speculation it could have been because Peterson flexed his muscles following a tackle Sunday with the team trailing 21-3.

He plays MLB, and no clue if he could shift to the outside.

Also he is 32 years old. I'm not so giddy at trying to get this guy in a Texans uniform.

I am. It's not like our linebackers are indestructable.
