Jaguars keep just 3 running backs while trimming roster
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars might be in the market for another running back.
Jacksonville kept just three backs — Leonard Fournette, Alfred Blue and rookie Ryquell Armstead — while trimming its roster to the NFL-mandated 53 on Saturday. The Jaguars waived/injured Devante Mays and waived fellow running back Elijah Hood. They released veteran Thomas Rawls on Friday.
The team also placed receiver Terrelle Pryor and offensive tackle Ben Ijalana on injured reserve and waived/injured offensive linemen Donnell Greene, K.C. McDermott and Leonard Wester. All three will revert to IR if they clear waivers.
Jacksonville placed linebacker Jake Ryan on the reserve/non-football injury list. Ryan has yet to practice since signing in free agency.
Notable cuts include safety C.J. Reavis, receiver Tyre Brady, cornerback Quenton Meeks and quarterback Alex McGough. Two undrafted free agents made the roster: linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and safety Andrew Wingard.
