Jacksonville signed 14 players to its practice squad on Wednesday, each of which was cut by the Jaguars during preseason roster cutdowns between Sunday and Tuesday.
Two practice squad spots remain open, as well as Jacksonville’s International Pathway Player designation, per general manager Trent Baalke, which was opened by the Jaguars waiving Australian tight end Patrick Murtagh with an injury designation.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson revealed Tuesday he had communicated with several players cut by Jacksonville that he hoped would return to the practice squad.
“You sit here today, and you let a number of players go, and at the same time you want to communicate with them and the guys that you want back,” Pederson described Tuesday.
“But you’ve got 31 other teams we say all along that are looking at our roster too, as we’re looking at others. Obviously, there is a plan in place. If we don’t get the guys, we get the next guy. We’ll fill out the practice roster with the best 16.”
