The starting quarterback spot for the Jacksonville Jaguars is reportedly still hanging in the balance.

According to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com, Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone didn't name a starter between Chad Henne and Blake Bortles after the Jaguars dropped Thursday's preseason game to the Carolina Panthers 24-23.

While Rosenthal noted there is not an official timetable for the decision, he added, "Gotta figure it's Henne."

Bortles' statistics from Thursday's game stand out on a cursory look considering he was 12-of-16 passing for 125 yards and one touchdown while Henne was 8-of-14 passing for 73 yards and zero touchdowns.
