The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that star defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has been placed on the team’s reserve/did not report list. It was also announced that linebacker Telvin Smith, a sixth-year linebacker who announced in May he did not plan to play in 2019, was placed on the team’s reserve/retired list.
The news of Ngakoue not appearing at the team’s complex on the day veterans were supposed to arrive for the start of training camp is not that big a surprise. The fourth-year veteran participated in only a handful of OTAs and was absent from mandatory minicamp because of a contract dispute with the franchise.
