Cecil Shorts III expected to return against Jags

Cecil Shorts III is preparing for a homecoming against the team that drafted him and where he spent the first four years of his NFL career. Shorts, injured on the final offensive play in Atlanta, is making strides to make his return this Sunday against Jacksonville.

“This game is important just like every other game is important, you know what I mean," Shorts said Wednesday. "I had some good years in Jacksonville so it will be fun to go back there and play against them guys.”

Shorts returned to practice on Wednesday. Head coach Bill O’Brien believes Shorts should be good to go against the Jaguars.
