JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jacksonville Jaguars running back Toby Gerhart won’t play Sunday at Tennessee because of a sprained right foot.
Coach Gus Bradley ruled Gerhart out Friday, saying backup Denard Robinson, rookie Storm Johnson and journeyman Jordan Todman will split carries against the Titans.
Gerhart, signed in the offseason to replace Maurice Jones-Drew, re-injured his foot in the first quarter of Sunday’s 17-9 loss to Pittsburgh. He practiced Wednesday, but sat out Thursday and Friday.
Gerhart has 48 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown this season. He ranks near the bottom of the league in yards per carry, averaging 2.6, and has been slowed since injuring his foot and ankle during a horse-collar tackle in the season opener at Philadelphia.
