Dave Caldwell: Blake Bortles had "dead arm" at end of 2014 season

Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said Blake Bortles suffered from a "dead arm" that suffered from inflammation late in the 2014 season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up OTA practices recently and general manager Dave Caldwell is excited about the prospect of quarterback Blake Bortles getting some rest for his arm.

That's because Bortles had what Caldwell described as a "dead arm" towards the end of last year and that his rookie quarterback suffered from inflammation in his arm and shoulder.

When speaking with USA Today's Tom Pelissero, Caldwell said it was a lot more than simply growing pains that caused Bortles to stumble his rookie season.
