The New England Patriots announced they are placing rookie wideout JaQuae Jackson on injured reserve after he was carted off the field due to an injury sustained in last week's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In a corresponding move, the team also announced the signing of former Cleveland Browns receiver Matt Landers.
The former undrafted free agent spent time on practice squads for the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers before moving on to the Arlington Renegades and San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL.
Landers signed with the Browns in May and was ultimately claimed off waivers by a Patriots team that needed another camp body after losing Jackson.
