Dante Fowler returned to the Jacksonville Jaguars locker room on Monday, a week after having to serve a one-game suspension handed down by the NFL. The fourth-year defensive end was happy to be back amongst his teammates after a 20-15 win over the New York Giants – a victory he could not share on Sunday.
It’s a feeling he does not want to experience again. The clock is ticking for Fowler, who is in the final year of his rookie deal. He is either playing for a new deal here in Jacksonville or auditioning for 31 other teams who would love to have a young pass rusher with the skills of the former first-round draft pick.
