JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles insists his confidence isnt shaken despite playing the worst football of his NFL career.It probably helps that coach Gus Bradley has his back.I firmly, firmly believe in Blake Bortles, without a doubt, Bradley said Monday, a day after a 33-16 home loss to Oakland. I think it was a challenging day (with) some of the situations we were in, but as far as a competitor and tough and what he brings to this team, there is no doubt.The Jaguars should have, at the very least, some concerns about whether the third-year-pro is a long-term solution. In several games this season and especially against the Raiders, Bortles showed no touch, no timing and no sense that hes capable of turning things around on a consistent basis.His inaccuracy continues to be a major concern, along with his penchant for turnovers and his less-than-ideal mechanics. His ultra-long windup is giving defenders extra time to break on passes, and those three-quarter-sidearm throws make the 6-foot-5 Bortles play more like a 6-footer. He is tied for the most passes batted down at the line of scrimmage (7).He has nine touchdown passes, nine interceptions, two fumbles and a rushing score. Sure, hes been plagued by some drops and a little bad luck with balls that should have been caught ending up getting picked.But he also has benefited from two somewhat-fluky touchdowns. Allen Hurns turned a 4-yard out into a 42-yard touchdown in London when he broke an arm tackle, outmaneuvered five defenders on a sloppy field and found the end zone. Two weeks later in Chicago, Arrelious Benn slipped while catching a low throw, then got up, took advantage of a defender who also fell and went untouched for a 51-yard score.Without those plays, the Jaguars probably would be winless in 2016.Whats more certain is Bortles has regressed from last season, when he finished with 35 touchdown passes and looked poised to take another significant step in Year 3. Instead, hes been one of the franchises biggest problems.He completed 23 of 43 passes for 246 yards Sunday against the leagues worst-ranked defense. He had a garbage-time touchdown to Julius Thomas that was nearly picked, and two interceptions.He failed to look off a defender and threw a pick in the end zone in the first quarter. He badly underthrew Marcedes Lewis down the field early in the second and wildly zipped one wide of Thomas.I missed some throws, Bortles said after the game. It happens every Sunday in any game you watch. Its part of playing football. Obviously, you dont want to do that. You want to make every throw. Sometimes you miss them, so its a continuous work in progress (to) find ways to get better, find ways to throw the ball to our team and try to put up more points.Although benching Bortles might seem like an option, its not for the Jaguars -- at least not now. They have a short week before playing at Tennessee (3-4) on Thursday night. Its also the start of a tough stretch in which Jacksonville plays four road games in five weeks.Bortles isnt the offenses only issue, either:-The line has been among the worst in the league, failing to open holes for running backs and allowing 15 sacks in six games.-Pro Bowl receiver Allen Robinson has looked lost at times, struggling to create separation and get open against double teams, and hes dropping passes early and often. His touchdown-turned-interception last week at Chicago was a game changer for Jacksonville. Instead of getting points on the opening drive, the Jaguars seemed deflated right from the start and barely recovered.Were just not doing enough of those things right, Bradley said. It feels like a broken record. Weve bounced back from it. We see some resilience. ... The fight and all that is there, its just were not taking advantage of opportunities, especially in the red zone offensively.-And the defense has provided Bortles little help in terms of creating turnovers and giving him better field position.It falls on all of us, Bradley said. It falls on me as a head coach, falls on the defense for not getting the ball, enough turnovers, and it falls on not taking advantage of opportunities in the red zone.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLNmd Norge Shop .

A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Starting point guard DAngelo Russell?will miss at least two weeks?after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left knee, the Los Angeles Lakers?announced Wednesday.Dr. Steve Yoon performed the procedure in Los Angeles.?The Lakers said Russell will be re-evaluated in one week.Lakers coach Luke Walton said he didnt think Russell would need surgery.No, not unless somebody else tells me something different, Walton said before Wednesday nights 149-106 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. I like to keep it pretty positive. If they tell me that they think this is going to help and get him back out there, then Im going with [the idea] that in two weeks, hell be ready to play again.Russell, the Lakers second-leading scorer (16.1 points per game), missed Fridays game against San Antonio?and Tuesdays game against Oklahoma City. He had been scheduled to miss Wednesdays game against Golden State, as well.Walton said he wasnt sure how long Russell has been dealingg with this injury.ddddddddddddIt kind of caught me by surprise, Walton said. He was limping around in practice one day and we took him out because he wasnt running right, and they told me that his knee had been bothering him. I know he played through it; I dont remember the day or for how long, but he was playing through it for a while there and playing good. Obviously, it got worse. But the timeline? I have no idea.Russell, a former?Ohio State?standout, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft.Lakers starting forward Julius Randle also missed Wednesdays game, with a hip pointer. Randle originally suffered the injury during practice earlier this week.He tried to play through it [Tuesday] night, Walton said. Obviously, he didnt look like the same that hes been the last couple games before that. Its pretty painful every time he cuts or tries to make a basketball move. ' ' '
