Hate to say I told you so, but I have said several time this offseason when folks started raving about TJ's non-contact practice showings, but I said as soon as the hitting starts TJ will get hurt.
He riminds me of a less talented Michael Westbrook. At some point you can not continue to hold up a roster spot for a guy that is hurt half the time.

WE need to be careful how quickly we judge our 2nd round draft pick and not make the same mistake the Cowboys made with there former 2nd round draft pick, Jimmy Smith - who was labeled as being "injury prone."
Smith had ZERO catches in 3 years with the Cowboys and only played in 7 games ... then he only had 22 in his first year in JAX - he turned out alright!
Keenan Mcardell only had 24 catches his first four years in the league ...guess who drafted him and failed to give him a chance, yep - the skins! So lets wait a little before we kill off TJ ...
