Jaguars Trim Roster To 53

By Sam Robinson | at September 5, 2020 2:29 pm

In addition to the cuts of quarterbacks Mike Glennon and Joshua Dobbs, here are the players the Jaguars parted ways with in order to reduce their roster to the 53-player limit.

Waived:

RB Nathan Cottrell
TE Ben Ellefson
LB Nate Evans
TE Matthew Flanagan
LB Joe Giles-Harris
WR Terry Godwin
WR Josh Hammond
OL Blake Hance
CB Amari Henderson
OL K.C. McDermott
OL Garrett McGhin
LB Parry Nickerson
LS Matt Orzech
OL Austin Pleasants
OL Ryan Pope
S J.R. Reed
WR Marvelle Ross
OL Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms

Waived/injured:

WR Michael Walker

Placed on IR:

CB Tramaine Brock (story)

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list:

RB Ryquell Armstead

Placed on reserve/suspended list:

DT Carl Davis
DE Josh Mauro (story)

Armstead is one of six players currently on a COVID-19 list around the league. He was expected to lead a Jaguars running back committee, following Leonard Fournette‘s departure. Players can be removed from the COVID list at any point. Armstead’s status will leave Devine Ozigbo and rookie UDFA James Robinson as the Jags’ running backs. This will be a team to monitor for waiver-claim adds at running back.

Nickerson, Giles-Harris and Orzich spent time on the Jaguars’ 53-man roster last season. The players jettisoned Saturday will become practice squad candidates, at least the bulk of them, on Sunday. Teams can begin signing players to their taxi squads Sunday, and after years of P-squads residing at 10 players, they will be 16-man units in this unique season.

Jaguars To Cut DL Carl Davis

By Sam Robinson | at May 12, 2020 4:15 pm

Barely a month after re-signing Carl Davis, the Jaguars plan to cut him. The Jags will part ways with the veteran defensive lineman, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle tweets.

Davis signed a one-year, $1.1MM deal with the Jags in early April. However, the five-year veteran will not be available until Week 5. The NFL handed him a four-game suspension in February for violating its performance-enhancing drug policy.

The former Ravens third-round pick caught on with the Jaguars last season, playing in two games. Davis has not suited up for more than five games in a season since 2017, when he started nine with the Ravens. The Iowa product has since spent time with the Browns, Colts and Jags.

Although the Jaguars traded Calais Campbell to the Ravens and have seen Yannick Ngakoue attempt to force a tag-and-trade scenario, they devoted key draft resources to the group by using a first-round pick on LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson in Round 1 selecting Davon Hamilton in Round 3.

Jaguars Re-Sign Carl Davis

By Zachary Links | at April 6, 2020 2:17 pm

The Jaguars announced that they’ll bring back Carl Davis for another year. However, the defensive tackle will not be available for the first month of the season thanks to his four-game ban.

Davis violated the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy, resulting in a suspension to start the year. Naturally, that inhibited Davis’ market as he talked with clubs in March.

The 2015 third-round pick spent his first three seasons with the Ravens, tallying 30 tackles, half-a-sack, and three passes defended in 28 games (12 starts). His 2016 season was derailed by a knee injury, and he was limited down the stretch of the 2017 campaign with a hamstring issue.

After being released by the Ravens before the 2018 campaign, he hooked on with the Browns. Despite re-signing with the squad the following offseason, he was released by Cleveland following the 2019 preseason. He ultimately appeared in three total games for the Colts and Jaguars last year, collecting a single tackle.

DT Carl Davis Suspended Four Games

By Ben Levine | at February 4, 2020 7:01 pm

Defensive tackle Carl Davis has been suspended for the first four games of the 2020 season, according to Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com. The impending free agent has been banned for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.

The 2015 third-round pick spent his first three seasons with the Ravens, compiling 30 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and three passes defended in his 28 games (12 starts). His 2016 season was derailed by a knee injury, and he was limited down the stretch of the 2017 campaign with a hamstring issue.

After being released by Baltimore prior to the 2018 season, he landed with the Browns. Despite re-signing with the squad the following offseason, he was released by Cleveland following the 2019 preseason. He ultimately appeared in three total games for the Colts and Jaguars last year, collecting a single tackle.

Davis is set to hit free agency. Considering he won’t see the field until October at the earliest, he might struggle to find his next gig.
