JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonvilles worst season in franchise history may include a botched injury. Star running back Maurice Jones-Drew had surgery on his left foot Friday and will be out at least until May. The operation came 10 weeks after Jones-Drew hurt his foot at Oakland on Oct. 21 and created plenty of questions about why the team didnt opt for surgery months ago. The Jaguars (2-13) were 1-5 after that loss, in the middle of a seven-game losing streak, and knew Jones-Drew would be out an extended period. Surgery was an option back then. Instead, the team held out hope Jones-Drew could return. "We had hoped it would -- as others have -- heal without surgery, and it didnt," coach Mike Mularkey said Friday. Mularkey said the two-month delay means little because players cant start off-season work with coaches until April 15. "Hopefully back by May, late May, early June," Mularkey said. "If its May, were not going to miss a lot. I dont think its significant that were doing it now. We all felt like he had a chance to play all the way up until this week, and really we were hoping he could." But it could be later. And any kind of setback could mean missing organized team activities and possibly training camp. Sticking to his policy about not talking about injuries, Mularkey declined to offer specifics about Jones-Drews foot injury. "Theres just some space in his foot," the coach said. "They wanted to keep it healing on its own. I dont know all the medical terms. Theres a lot of things going on in the foot. Something that you hoped would naturally go back didnt, so were going to hold it in place." The Jaguars placed Jones-Drew on injured reserve and filled his roster spot by signing rookie defensive tackle Jerome Long off Kansas Citys practice squad. Jones-Drew, who led the league in rushing in 2011, finished with 414 yards and a touchdown this season. The Jaguars rank 30th in the league in rushing. MJD skipped the entire off-season program, sitting out training camp and the preseason during a 38-day holdout while looking for a new contract. The Jaguars didnt budge, refusing to renegotiate since he had two years remaining on a five-year deal worth $31.5 million. He made $4.45 million this season and is due to get $4.95 million next year. He said last week he doesnt anticipate missing anything mandatory during the off-season. He is, though, going back to UCLA to pursue his college degree. Hes scheduled to take three business classes beginning Jan. 7. "Were going to set up a place out there for him to rehab," Mularkey said. "We have contacts out there with him. Were comfortable with that." cheapjerseysnflwholesalestore... . -- Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium beat Taiwans Chang Kai-chen 7-5, 2-6, 7-5 on Monday in the first-round of the Bank of the West Classic.

Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis both had a goal and an assist to lead the Lightning over the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Tuesday night. Mike Angelidis and Nate Thompson also scored for the Lightning, who have won four in a row after a seven-game skid. "If youre going to get a break, you want to finish on a winning note," St. Louis said. "Keep the streak alive, and come back where you left off." Columbus got goals from Brett Lebda and Ryan Johansen. The Blue Jackets, coming off a 4-1 loss at Nashville Monday night, have lost four straight. "We battled until the end," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "Youre looking for the energy, and I know theres circumstances that make it difficult at times, but I still thought for a 60-minute game that we could have and should have been better in certain areas." Lecavalier put the Lightning ahead 2-1 on the power play with a re-directed goal from the low slot 8:19 into the second. The Tampa Bay captain has three goals and 10 points during a six-game point streak. St. Louis made it 3-1 on an in-close goal off a pass from Lecavalier with 3:04 left in the second. St. Louis, who assisted on Lecavaliers goal, also extended his point streak to six games (eight assists, 10 points). After Johansen cut the Columbus deficit to 3-2 from the low left circle at 5:40 of the third, Thompson got the goal back at 11:29. Tampa Bay outshot the Blue Jackets 24-11 through two periods and 31-24 overall. Columbus, with an NHL-low 32 points, is 1-18-1 when behind entering the third period. "Without question, theres guys that have proven over the season that they show up every night," Richards said. "We need a group of 20 doing it. If were missing two, three guys, its tough for us to win games.ddddddddddddSo that was kind of my message to the guys as they go rest and relax, when they come back, we need everybody every single night." Angelidis stole the puck from Colton Gillies, skated into the Columbus zone and scored his first NHL goal -- coming in his first game -- by beating goalie Curtis Sanford on a backhander with 6:40 to go in the first. "Its a dream come true," Angelidis said. "I was in shock. Did that really happen? I was trying to get it on net, just like a rebound kind of shot, and it found a way in." Angelidis is the fifth Tampa Bay player, and first since Ryan Craig on Dec. 17, 2005, to score a goal in his NHL debut. Lebda, signed as a free agent by Columbus last Thursday, tied it at 1 just 1:47 after Angelidis goal on a shot from the low right circle that got past goaltender Mathieu Garon. It was the defencemans first goal since last Feb. 24, and 20th overall in 369 NHL games. Garon improved to 8-1-2 against Columbus. Blue Jackets centre R.J. Umberger had two assists. "We made it a close game, but unfortunately they got that fourth goal," Umberger said. "We kept fighting and that shows some heart and character." Lightning centre Steven Stamkos, the NHL goals leader with 32, was held off the scoresheet. He got both of his two shots in the third and finished minus-1.
