The Jaguars are the next team to announce their roster cuts. To get down to the 53-man limit, Jacksonville has moved on from the following players:
Waived:
- DL Israel Antwine
- WR Kevin Austin Jr.
- OLB Rashod Berry
- WR Jeff Cotton Jr.
- CB Xavier Crawford
- OL Coy Cronk
- OL Nick Ford
- CB Gregory Junior
- S Ayo Oyelola
- QB E.J. Perry
- TE Gerrit Prince
- RB Mekhi Sargent
- DT Jay Tufele
- OL Darryl Williams
Waived/injured:
Perry found himself on and off the team’s roster throughout the summer. On multiple occasions, he swapped places with Kyle Sloter as a camp body. Initially thought to be signing with the Eagles as a UDFA, Perry will now look to catch onto a practice squad should he go unclaimed.
Raequan Williams has two years of NFL experience, albeit in a very limited role. The Michigan State alum made six appearances with the Eagles in 2020, and logged his first career start last season. The 25-year-old found himself behind the likes of Folorunso Fatukasi and Roy Robertson-Harris on the d-line, however.
The same is true of Tufele, a 2021 fourth-round pick. After racking up 6.5 sacks in two seasons at USC, the six-foot-three, 305-pounder was held in relatively high regard. He was limited to just four games and 54 defensive snaps as a rookie, however, and faced tough competition for full-time snaps in Year 2. He could also be a practice squad candidate, although his age and draft status figure to make him a name to watch on the waiver wire as well.
