Hayward ready to rebound: Jaguars DL Reggie Hayward, 29, hampered by injuries the past two seasons, says he's back to full strength, reports the Florida Times-Union. After playing his first four seasons for Denver, Hayward was signed to a five-year, $25 million contract before the 2005 season, and lived up to expectations when he led the Jaguars with 8.5 sacks. But he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the 2006 season opener against Dallas and hasn't been the same since. He missed the rest of the 2006 season and struggled last season when he was still recovering from the injury. He wound up with just 3.5 sacks. He also suffered a groin injury in December that knocked him out for three games, and he didn't start in the two playoff games. He thinks his frustrating days are in the past. Hayward said he can tell the difference after a second offseason gave him more time to heal. (Updated 05/19/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Consider Hayward a low-end DL in IDP leagues. If he can return to form, he would have increased Fantasy value, but for now don't plan on drafting him in 2008. If he plays well, add him off the waiver wire. (Updated 05/19/2008).
