JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Derrius Guice Jersey . - The Jacksonville Jaguars have taken another step toward parting ways with suspended receiver Justin Blackmon. The Jaguars removed Blackmons name plate from atop his locker, the latest indication that the former first-round draft pick has no future with the franchise. The team placed rookie quarterback Stephen Morris from Miami in the stall. Blackmon is suspended without pay indefinitely for repeated violations of the leagues substance-abuse policy, and general manager Dave Caldwell indicated last week that he would consider cutting Blackmon when and if he gets reinstated. Owner Shad Khan weighed in after the teams state-of-the-franchise presentation Tuesday. "I think its an absolute tragedy," he said. "I have a hard time expressing. Im a parent myself. I met with his parents. I think hes such a talented guy, the best years ahead of him. But after a while, its out of your control." The Jaguars have expressed disappointment with not being in contact with Blackmon, and NFL rules limit contact coaches and front-office personnel can have with suspended players. "The league has rules. We have to follow them. And its simple as that," Khan said. "The league, the players association, theres a huge amount of resources. The only thing I can (say) is please take advantage of it. If youre a player, its like all of this stuff is being offered to you. Take advantage of it. I think NFL players are so lucky from the viewpoint all these resources that are available to him." Blackmon was suspended the first four games of last year for violating the substance-abuse policy. He played four games before getting suspended again — at least for a year. The Jaguars had been hoping Blackmon would be eligible to return after eight games in 2014. But after losing contact with him, coach Gus Bradley said last week that "it doesnt sound like its going in the right direction. ... We cant count on him." Jacksonville drafted two receivers in the second round Friday to fill the void, selecting USCs Marqise Lee with the 39th overall pick and then adding Penn States Allen Robinson at No. 61. "Having those guys in that room will definitely help us get better on the field," fellow receiver Cecil Shorts III said. Blackmon has 93 catches for 1,280 yards and six scores in 20 games — all since Jacksonville traded up to select the former Oklahoma State star with the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft. His problems have been off the field. Blackmon was involved in three substance-related incidents in three years. He was arrested on a misdemeanour DUI charge in Texas in 2010 after officers caught him speeding on a suburban Dallas highway. The charge was later reduced to an underage alcohol possession charge. A little more than a month after the Jaguars drafted him, he was arrested during a traffic stop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after a breath test allegedly showed his blood alcohol content to be three times the legal limit. A subsequent violation landed him the four-game suspension. Another one got him the indefinite suspension. Khan said the tough part is that Blackmon doesnt seem to want help. "Its frankly hard to understand," Khan said.

Few achieve that ambition and pull on the shirt. Fewer still go on to wear the captains armband, while barely a handful are rewarded with a testimonial for services to their team. Tony Craig has done it all. Two decades and 254 appearances on from watching Millwall as a boy in the Cold Blow Lane stand, the defender will lead his side out against Brentford on Saturday at the Den for a game in his honour. Its an occasion he admits he could not even have dreamed about all those years ago.It gives me goosebumps even talking about it, he said to Sky Sports. You could say its a dream come true, but its something youd never even dare to dream about. I cant believe my luck. Ive had to move on a couple of times but thankfully the club have always wanted me to come back and its a club I absolutely adore and love playing for; I love playing every single minute and every time I put the shirt on. Im a fan and to do it, Im living my dream. Every day is a dream come true. Its a club I absolutely adore; I love playing every single minute and every time I put the shirt on. Im a fan and every day is a dream come true. Tony Craig It hasnt always been plain sailing for Craig at Millwall. There have been two play-off final defeats, a relegation and, as he says, spells away from the club. But Craig - now in his fourth stint as a Millwall player - is relishing life under manager, and former team-mate, Neil Harris.Weve known each other for many years and he knows my strengths and weaknesses, Craig says of Harris, Millwalls all-time top scorer who steered the club to the League One play-off final in his first full season as a manager in 2015/16. Neil and [assistant manager] Dave Livermore did exceptionally well in their first year and hopefully they can have another good one. Ever since he took the team over, theres a style the gaffer keeps saying about which is the Millwall way. Thats to fight for every ball, to battle and to stand up and be counted.Its an approach personified by Craig. The tough-tackling, hard-hitting centre-back is one of Harris key leaders on the field and, at 31, is now an experienced head, able to guide and mentor Millwalls blossoming young talents. Tim Cahill was a team-mate of Craig when he first broke into the Millwall side Aiden OBrien, Ben Thompson, Fred Onyedinma and Sid Nelson were among the academy graduates to make their mark last season and now form an important part of Harris ambitious squad.But the goals of striker Lee Gregory will also be a key factor in whether Millwall can win promotion to the Championship. Russ Grimm Womens Jersey. While his former Halifax team-mate Jamie Vardy was firing Leicester City to the Premier League title last season, Gregory found the net 27 times in all competitions.His goal return has attracted attention from Championship clubs but captain Craig says the frontman is fit and focused on producing another successful season in south London. EFL Trophy draw Click here to see the draw for the first round of the EFL Trophy Lee Gregory is a great lad and his goalscoring record last year was absolutely brilliant so it was obvious people were going to come and have a sniff round him, Craig said.But hes come in for pre-season, got fighting fit and to me he looks ready for the season. Lee and Steve Morison last season were a very good partnership up there so hopefully that can continue this season. Millwalls top scorer last season Lee Gregory (right) has attracted interest from the Championship Were a good team and weve kept the core of the squad, so lets see where the season takes us. There are a lot of good sides in this league, some big sides have come down and its exciting times, an exciting league to be involved in. Hopefully we can push it all the way.Craig won promotion from League One with Millwall in 2010 thanks to a play-off final victory over Swindon at Wembley. Along with scoring on his home debut in front of the Cold Blow Lane end, he says walking up the steps to lift the trophy that day is one of his highlights of his career.His testimonial on Saturday will be another. Then the hard work of battling for another promotion begins.Buy tickets for Tony Craigs testimonial, Millwall v Brentford on Saturday July 30, at www.millwallfc.co.uk/tickets or on the day at the Den Testimonial proceeds to charity A donation from the proceeds generated by Tony Craigs testimonial will go to Headley Court, the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre in Surrey.
