Leftwich gets new opinion on ankle
14th Nov 2006, 13:14 GMT
Jaguars QB Byron Leftwich was in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday to get a second opinion on his injured left ankle. Leftwich said last week he didn't believe he would need surgery, but he traveled to see renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Coach Jack Del Rio indicated he might not be involved in Leftwich's decision. "Do you think that as a coach that I determine what a guy does?" Del Rio said Monday. "We'll go through the process, but I'm not sure how to answer the question." Leftwich said he initially hurt his left ankle Oct. 1 at Washington. The injury flared up nearly two weeks later, but Leftwich convinced coaches he was OK to play two days later at Houston. Leftwich then played poorly in a 27-7 loss, and Del Rio benched him the last three games in favor of backup David Garrard.
