The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed quarterback Blaine Gabbert and receiver Laurent Robinson on injured reserve, ending their season.

Gabbert hurt his right forearm in Sunday's loss at Houston. Chad Henne replaced him and threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns.

Gabbert also has a torn labrum in his left shoulder that needs surgery. The Jaguars (1-9) figured it would be better to get it done now.

Nonetheless, coach Mike Mularkey made it clear Monday he was going to start Henne against Tennessee on Sunday based on his performance - not because of Gabbert's injury.

The Jaguars signed Jordan Palmer, who spent the preseason in Jacksonville, to be Henne's backup.

Robinson, meanwhile, sustained his fourth concussion of the season against Houston. Robinson finished the year with 24 catches for 252 yards.

Shahid Kahn needs to sell the Jaguars and just stick to drilling oil and owning a roadside bomb company.

If you're the Jaguars... you replacing Gabbart already in the upcoming draft?

He's got a torn labrum and has looked pretty lousy since they drafted him.

There's no reason they have to cut him and give up on him now, but he's also shown nothing that makes it a cinch he's the #1 guy with no competition either.

I'd like to bring him back if they do cut him.

Gabbert's a complete bust. Not particularly good physically and too big a douche to ever be a leader. Might as well give up on him now.
