The Jaguars have signed running back Benny Cunningham, per a team announcement. The move comes on the heels of signing running back Alfred Blue, giving the Jaguars two backup options behind starter Leonard Fournette. 
Blue profiles as more of a traditional ball carrier while Cunningham figures to be more of a special teams contributor.
“I’m just excited to have the opportunity,” the seventh-year veteran said in a press release from Jacksonville. “I feel like this place will be home for me. I’m excited to get started. There are pieces in place that this team can win the Super Bowl. I just want to be part of something special.”
Cunningham has a 26.3-yard average on 110 career kickoff returns. He had just 14 carries for 36 yards in two seasons with the Bears, but he has shifted gears and now embraces his role on special teams.
Meanwhile, the deal reunites Cunningham with former Rams teammate Nick Foles.
“I can’t wait to call Nick, talk to him and catch up,” the running back said.
Rumor is the Jaguars are trying to locate the elusive Chuck Cunningham.
