"This was the last day that we're going to have things opened for the public to be able to come out and watch us. We've been real pleased with the way the crowds have treated us this year. It's been a good environment for us to work in," said Del Rio. "We're looking forward to going against the Falcons on Saturday night. It ought to be a great environment to get our first look at this football team for 2008."
The Jaguars made two roster moves on Wednesday as the team placed rookie defensive tackle Theo Horrocks on the waived/injured list and signed rookie free agent defensive tackle Tywain Myles. Horrocks, an un-drafted rookie from Vanderbilt, suffered a foot injury in practice on Monday night.
