The Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten their roster down by 10 payers after a few waive and releases, including the waiving of UFL Defensive Player of the Year Breeland Speaks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars officially parted ways with 10 players on Sunday, including reigning UFL Defensive Player of the Year Breeland Speaks.
In addition, the Jaguars released cornerback Tevaughn Campbell, wide receiver Denzel Mims, tight end Chris Myarick, and offensive lineman Keaton Sutherland. The most interesting name on the list is Speaks, who recorded sacks in the first and second preseason game. Speaks joined the team in the middle of camp so his pathway to the 53-man roster was always murky, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson indicated this week he could potentially join the practice squad.
"We’ve just got to continue to evaluate how he does in individual drills, any team reps that he gets during the week. Then again, with this last game, probably looking like the second half potentially playing, and making the most of those reps. It's probably a challenge with a guy like that, probably 53, as you go. But practice squad is not out of the question. That’s what a lot of these guys are competing for. They're still competing for those spots.
