The Jacksonville Jaguars had an interesting weekend, highlighted (or lowlighted) by the disastrous practice performance of quarterback Blake Bortles.
If they were looking to get back to work with a focus of getting better on the field, they are going to have to look past one heck of a distraction.
After a week of training camp, presumed starting left tackle Branden Albert shockingly announced his retirement Monday morning.
Albert released the following statement on Jaguars.com:
“After nine seasons playing in the National Football League, I have decided to retire from the game that has given me so much,” said Albert.
