Tim Tebow’s transition to Jaguars tight end faces hitting challenge

JACKSONVILLE — Starting this week, Jaguars coach Urban Meyer is going to find out plenty about Tim Tebow and whether his NFL comeback attempt is heading in the right direction.

And there will be no more of the soft stuff like during the first four practices in which the secondary backed off their coverage on receivers and tight ends to avoid any possibility of making contact.

Meyer implemented the rule for the first four days of non-contact work to keep from having a repeat of the offseason practices when the NFL fined the franchise $200,000 and Meyer $100,000 for violating the no-contact rule.
