After placing linebacker Myles Jack on injured reserve the Jacksonville Jaguars filled his spot with another young linebacker from the practice squad in rookie Joe Giles-Harris.
Giles-Harris, 22, is getting his third opportunity on the active roster. He made the initial roster and was one of two undrafted rookie free-agents (with safety Andrew Wingard) back in August, but was waived before the team’s first regular season game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Not too soon afterward he was added back to the roster through the Jags’ practice squad. They promoted him again in October, but waived him in early November only to add him back to the practice squad days later.
Giles-Harris has yet to register any regular season stats, but saw the field in the preseason and racked up 15 tackles while playing in all four games. He also got the opportunity to start in their preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons.
