Maurice Jones-Drew has been briefed. He has heard all about Mike Mularkey's touchdown policy, the one in which the Jacksonville Jaguars coach donates money to charity every time a player scores and hands the ball to an official without any kind of celebration.
Jones-Drew chuckled when asked whether he's going to comply with Mularkey's request.
"We're entertainers, but at the same time I'm coachable," Jones-Drew said this week.
Of everyone in Jacksonville's locker room, Jones-Drew might have the toughest time playing it straight. After all, the three-time Pro Bowl running back has celebrated nearly all his 74 career touchdowns in unique fashion.
Jones-Drew isn't saying whether it will end under the team's new regime. "I have to get in there first before we can answer this question," Jones-Drew said.
Seahawks: Running back Marshawn Lynch (back spasms) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's opener at Arizona after being a limited participant in practice most of the week.
Vikings: The team is willing to wait until game time to determine whether running back Adrian Peterson (knee) plays in the opener against Jacksonville, coach Leslie Frazier said.
Steelers: Pro Bowl outside linebacker James Harrison (knee) did not practice for the second consecutive day, making it unlikely he will play for the Steelers in the opener at Denver.
Texans: Coach Gary Kubiak says running back Arian Foster (knee) and linebacker Brooks Reed (hip) sat out Friday's practice and will be "game-time" decisions against Miami.
