Gabbert seeing increased first-team QB reps
Blaine Gabbert - QB - Jacksonville Jaguars
Aug. 18, 2011 - 12:15 AM ET

Despite David Garrard's return to practice after an early back injury, Blaine Gabbert has seen his first-team reps increase in recent days.

Strong-armed and built like a franchise quarterback at 6-foot-4, 234, Gabbert is especially attractive to the eye on the practice field. Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times Union says she can say "with 100 percent certainty" that Gabbert and Garrard are "in a competition to be the Jaguars' starting quarterback." It sounds like Gabbert has a legitimate shot to start in Week 1.
