Jaguars DE Chris Clemons has no apologies for missing OTAs
One might have figured Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Chris Clemons felt a bit sheepish arriving at minicamp Tuesday after being the lone no-show for voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason. One might have figured wrong. Clemons felt no apologies were warranted. After all, it's just his proven stride. "For the last ... four years I haven't been to an offseason so this is the way I prepare myself," he told the Florida Times-Union. "Gus [Bradley] and I both know that - we walk about that during the offseason every year. I did the same thing in Seattle." Clemons has certainly done some work outside the facility. He has dropped 17 pounds, checking in at 248. "My body feels better than it did last offseason," he said. "I played last year at 255, 260 pounds in some games and I felt my productivity went down. My thing this year was to come back lighter and leaner so I can go out and play better."

Jaguars DE Chris Clemons a no-show at OTAs
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Chris Clemons was not present for Tuesday's OTA practice, according tot he Florida Times-Union. This is the second consecutive year that Clemons did not show for the first voluntary practice. He was also the only member of the Jaguars not to show for Tuesday's session — outside of Dante Fowler, who tore his ACL during rookie minicamp. Clemons did let coach Gus Bradley know that he wouldn't attend. It's unlikely that Clemons will show for practices on Wednesday and Thursday either. “I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘It’s OK for Chris Clemons (to not attend),’" Bradley said. "We want everybody here. And he knows that. It’s a choice he’s made. It’s voluntary. We’ll take advantage of the time getting a look at other guys and see how they’re doing."
