• Gordon says he’s focused on ensuring he’s ready to go for Week 1: “Yeah, Week 1 regular season. That’s my focus. It is. That’s what I’ve been told to do and that’s what I plan on doing.” (Mary Kay Cabot)
• Gordon added: “I know I’m going to be here playing football, and anything outside of these walls, I think I have the right people in place to help me in any way in which I need them to help me.“

Colts

• Colts HC Frank Reich told reporters on Monday that QB Andrew Luck missed practice due to “mild” foot injury. However, Reich added that Luck could return tomorrow if he’s doing better in the morning and the expectation is that he will not miss any playing time. (Stephen Holder)

Jaguars
