Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) said his goal is resume full-scale workouts for the month ahead of training camp.

Jones-Drew didn't practice with the Jags during Monday's OTAs. Instead, he ran 30-yard dashes at three-quarters speed. "Lately, it's been one day on, a day off, two days on, a day off - it's part of the process," he said. "I'm closer than I think. I just want to take my time and make sure we do it the right way." Rehab from Lisfranc surgery is nothing to be brushed off lightly. We'll be watching MJD's progress closely as he enters a contract year.

Maurice Jones-Drew (Lisfranc surgery) says he was able to run at about 75-percent speed on Monday.

It's a step in the right direction for Jones-Drew, who underwent surgery in late December. He'll next step up his straight-line running before resuming cutting at full speed. Jones-Drew's status for training camp is uncertain, but we expect him to be close to 100 percent when the Jaguars' season starts.

Maurice Jones-Drew wants to play at 205 pounds this season.

Jones-Drew is listed at 210 pounds on the team's official website, but he says he played at 217 last season and is even heavier than that right now. The 28-year-old played at 205 while at UCLA. Entering a contract year, MJD's goal is to "come back in great shape and be the best player I have been or even better."

GM Dave Caldwell says the Jaguars have no plans to trade Maurice Jones-Drew, and that his contract will be "assessed after the season."

Jones-Drew is scheduled to make $4.95 million in the final season of the five-year, $30.95 million contract he signed in 2009. MJD has already said he has no plans to hold out after doing so in disastrous fashion last summer. Still recovering from Lisfranc surgery, MJD is hoping to be "full speed" by late May or early June.

Maurice Jones-Drew (Lisfranc) says he'll be "full speed" by the "end of May, beginning of June."

"I'm feeling good," said Jones-Drew. "Just have been rehabbing every day and getting used to the offseason program. I'll be back at full speed by probably the end of May, beginning of June." MJD missed the final ten games of the season with the foot injury, and he just began "lightly" jogging a couple weeks ago. He should be all systems go for training camp.

Maurice Jones-Drew (Lisfranc) has resumed jogging.

"Lightly," that is. Per the AP's Mark Long, MJD is still "a ways" away from running full speed. There supposedly "isn't concern" about Jones-Drew's status for training camp, but it would be nice to see him get on the field in June's minicamp.

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said that he doesn't expect to open extension talks with Maurice Jones-Drew until after the season.

After holding out last year, Jones-Drew (foot) is on track to be ready for training camp and currently rehabbing at UCLA while completing his degree. The Jaguars fired both their general manager and head coach this offseason, but signing a 28-year-old running back coming off major foot surgery isn't high on their list of priorities. MJD is set to make just $4.95 million in 2013, the final season of a five-year deal.
