Due to a multitude of injuries at the tight end position, the Jaguars have been forced to turn to a few an unlikely participant. After third-round rookie tight end Josh Oliver was sent to injured/reserve due to “small fractures” in his back on Monday, the team opted to sign little-known tight end Charles Jones from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, the rookie’s first time being activated.
Jones, signed in May after a tryout with the team, has worked on the team’s practice squad since the start of the regular season, waiting for his opportunity to get on the field.
