JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee hopes to play in the teams preseason opener despite missing most of training camp.Lee fully practiced Monday for the first time since straining his left hamstring during the opening day of camp. Now, after sitting out nine days and seven practices, the former USC standout is lobbying to play against the New York Jets on Thursday night.Im thinking about playing, Lee said. I want to. I dont know from this point, honestly, to tell you the truth. Its all up to the coaches and stuff. Im looking forward to it.A second-round draft pick in 2014, Lee tweaked his hamstring during the first camp session. It was the latest setback for a guy who has missed significant time with ankle, hamstring and knee injuries.We went through this injury plenty of times for the last couple of years, Lee said, estimating four or five hamstring injuries in three years. At this point in time, any time you feel it or anything like that, Im just going to leave it up to the trainers. ... If it gets worse from that point on, its their fault, not mine.Given his history, the Jaguars immediately shut him down and ordered a MRI. Tests showed no significant damage, but team doctors decided to be cautious and have Lee slowly return to full speed.It was a relief, Lee said. Its kind of nerve-wracking sometimes when things happen, but you learn to get over them like I have. But its still nerve-wracking.Lee caught 52 passes for 613 yards and two touchdowns in his first two seasons, including just 15 receptions for 191 yards and a score last year. Drafted to be the teams go-to receiver, Lee has become a fourth option at best because of injuries, behind Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and tight end Julius Thomas.His speed makes him a much-needed piece of Jacksonvilles offense, and staying healthy is the key. And it starts in the preseason, maybe even against the Jets.Im not trying to go out there to prove anything, Lee said. My thing is to go out there and just focus on what Ive been working on. Preseason is just preseason. Im not going to go out there and try to do anything crazy. Just go out there, work on the techniques and things I need to work on to get open, and thats it.Defensive end Jared Odrick (foot), defensive tackle Malik Jackson (ankle), left tackle Kelvin Beachum (knee), running back Jonas Gray (leg) and rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Day (back) missed practice Monday.

ATLANTA -- Two Bengals newcomers showed they can provide offence to help the team as it chases an elusive post-season win. Free-agent signee Steven Jackson wasnt given enough blocking to make a splash in his first Atlanta home game. Giovani Bernard scored in his opening bid for a share of the Bengals carries, Josh Johnson led two second-quarter touchdown drives, and Cincinnati rolled to a 34-10 preseason win over Atlanta on Thursday night. Bernard, a second-round pick from North Carolina, played behind returning starter Benjarvus Green-Ellis and had 10 carries for 28 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown run. He added three catches for 16 yards. Some observers expect Bernard and Green-Ellis to share the job this season. "Well complement each other really well," Bernard said. "I think people got a little taste of it tonight." The Bengals are coming off a 10-6 season and their second straight loss in the first round of the playoffs. Their last playoff victory was in the 1990 season. Johnson made big plays as a passer and runner as he opened the competition with John Skelton for the Bengals backup quarterback job behind Andy Dalton. Johnson passed for 100 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown to Brandon Tate, and ran for 64 yards. "I was impressed overall with what he did out there," said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis of Johnson. "We know he can make plays with his legs, but throwing the ball is how a quarterback has to make a living in this league, and it was a real nice play to Brandon Tate." Johnson led the Bengals to 17 second-quarter points and another field goal in the third quarter. "I played pretty well," Johnson said. "I was able to move the ball." Following his scoring pass to Tate, Johnson directed a second touchdown drive capped by Bernards 1-yard run. Lined up deep in the I-formation, Bernard showed his explosiveness by quickly building his speed even before taking the handoff from Johnson and then running straight ahead for the touchdown with 2 seconds remaining in the half. Dane Sanzenbacher had a 71-yard punt return for a touchdown and a 36-yard scoring catch from Skelton. The game highlighted the Falcons concerns about their rebuilt offensive line. Jackson found little blocking as he had five carries for only 8 yards. Atlanta lost projected starting right tackle Mike Johnson, likely for the season, when he dislocated his left ankle and broke his left leg in Tuesdays practice. Lamar HHolmes, a second-year player who appeared in only one game in 2012, moved up.ddddddddddddUndrafted rookie Ryan Schraeder played behind Holmes. The Falcons released right tackle Tyson Clabo after the 2012 season and longtime starting centre Todd McClure retired. Coach Mike Smith said its too early to determine if the team needs to look for help on the line. "Were going to evaluate this tape and weve got to make that decision, but were not going to evaluate it on only one game," Smith said. The Falcons had a fast start. Matt Ryan was 3 for 3 for 52 yards on Atlantas opening drive, his first with Jackson at running back. Jackson, the former Rams standout, was signed to replace Michael Turner. On the first play of the game, Jackson ran straight ahead, found no room and cut right for 4 yards. It was his longest run of the night, but Ryan insisted it was a good beginning. "I thought he did great," Ryan said. "For all that we have in and all that weve put in as an offence, for him to pick up everything and to be out there and run the ball the way he did, Im excited about what hes going to bring to the team this year." Harry Douglas turned a screen pass from Ryan into a 42-yard gain, but the drive stalled when Geno Atkins stuffed Jackson on third-and-2 run from the 16, forcing the Falcons to settle for Matt Bryants 37-yard field goal. Ryan was 6 of 9 for 89 yards on three series. Dalton played only two possessions and went 3 of 7 for 36 yards. Dominique Davis, mostly ineffective after replacing Ryan in the first half, led a third-quarter touchdown drive capped by his 8-yard pass to Jason Snelling. Davis hit 8 of 19 for 78 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Skelton took over for Johnson late in the third quarter and led a 78-yard touchdown drive finished off with his 36-yard scoring pass to Sanzenbacher, a third-year player who had only one catch in 2012. He completed 4 of 5 passes for 72 yards. NOTES: Bengals CB Brandon Ghee, who intercepted a pass from Davis in the second quarter, left with a head injury. ... Bengals G Tanner Hawkinson was carted off the field midway through the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. ... Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez, participating in only portions of training camp as part of his agreement to postpone his retirement, was away with his family. ... Bengals DT Larry Black, who dislocated his right ankle during practice last month, cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve. ' ' '
