The Jaguars were the victim of a radio helmet malfunction at a critical moment Sunday in their 34-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars were trailing 14-10 on their first drive in the third quarter when they faced a fourth-and-1 at their 39. Coach Jack Del Rio likes to gamble and the call went to David Garrard to make the quarterback sneak if it was open or pitch to Maurice Jones-Drew if it wasn’t Garrard pitched, Jones-Drew fumbled and even though he recovered, the Colts got possession on the Jaguars 38. “I just took my eye off the ball,” Jones-Drew said. The sneak was open, but Garrard didn’t hear that part of the play and didn’t think to audible. Garrard said, “The headsets were going in and out and weren’t working. I had to switch to a different helmet. I didn’t get that part [about the quarterback sneak]. I wish I would have gotten the call.” — Florida Times-Union

Jaguars cornerback Will Middleton got a little bit of mail from the NFL on Wednesday. The league fined Middleton $5,000 for a hit on Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell. “Disappointed would be the one word,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said. “It wasn’t a very significant amount. I almost think he ought to get a rebate. When you have a call go against you like that —  sack-fumble defensive touchdown looks pretty good.” — Florida Times-Union

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio made a push for fans to buy more tickets during his opening statement in his Monday news conference. “Need the fans to step up and be a force for us down the stretch here with big December home games. We need that 12th man,” Del Rio said. “So we’re going to need them to be loud and proud and show up and make it disruptive for the offense that’s coming in here, make it difficult for the Raiders to operate at the line and that can be a factor for us. … We’ve had every game on TV and had good support and hope it continues as we finish up here in December.” The Jaguars still have 6,233 tickets left to sell for their final home game, Dec. 26 against the Washington Redskins. — Florida Times-Union

Jags QB David Garrard was wearing a splint on his sprained left wrist Monday, but he said he’ll be ready to play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. “I feel good,” he said. “I’ve got a little soreness, a little swelling, but I feel like everything will be fine this week. Once we get the swelling out, there will be no problems.” Garrard, who was injured when he was sacked on the next-to-the-last-play of a 24-20 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday, said he doesn’t expect to wear a splint in the game. “They might put a little pre-wrap, a little tape, but other than that, I don’t see anything else,” he said. Garrard said both an X-ray and MRI revealed no broken bones in his wrist. “Yeah, everything was negative,” he said. “Everything was good. I actually got to see it myself, so I’m happy about that. Once we get the swelling out of there, it’ll be ready to roll.” — Florida Times-Union

Mike Thomas is going to become the first Jaguar players ever to be featured in a display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the wake of his Hail Mary catch Sunday against the Houston Texans. Officials at the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, requested that the Jaguars send his jersey, gloves and the ball for the display, and the items were shipped Tuesday. “That’s a big honor. That’s a big deal,” said Thomas, who was at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., on Monday to appear on six shows. The only previous things the Hall of Fame wanted from the Jaguars were two balls, one from their first game (a preseason game against Carolina at the Hall of Fame in 1995), and another from the Jaguars’ first game in 2004, which was the team’s 10th anniversary season. — Florida Times-Union

Defensive end Aaron Kampman noted during the bye week how healthy the Jaguars were with only one starter, right tackle Eben Britton, on the injured reserve list/ He pointed out they haven’t had many “super-significant” injuries this year. It turns out Kampman might have suffered a super-significant injury in practice Thursday. He went down with what might be a serious knee injury and was scheduled for an MRI exam Thursday night. The results weren’t known at press time. — Florida Times-Union

Todd Bouman, who was released for the fifth time by the Jaguars on Tuesday, is free to return to the tractor on his father’s farm in Minnesota. He was on the tractor on Oct. 19 when the Jaguars called him. They had an emergency because their two quarterbacks, David Garrard and Trent Edwards, were injured against Tennessee. Bouman earned his place in Jaguars lore when, with three days of practice, he made his first start in five years in Kansas City and turned in a solid performance. Showing he could still play NFL-caliber football at age 38, he completed 18-of-34 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-20 loss. But with Garrard and Edwards healthy, Bouman was released for the second time this year.  — Florida Times-Union
