Jaguars at tight end: With Julius Thomas. weakness becomes strength

Mickey Shuler was claimed off waivers … and played 31 snaps a week later in the season opener.

Nic Jacobs was signed off New Orleans’ practice squad … and played 19 snaps and caught a touchdown five days later at San Diego.

And Clay Harbor returned after missing six weeks with a popped calf muscle … and played 61 snaps and had eight catches in the same Chargers game.

Just like right tackle and strong-side linebacker last year, the Jaguars’ tight end position was a revolving door thanks mostly to Marcedes Lewis’ Week 2 ankle sprain that put him on short-term injured reserve.
