Jaguars open 21-day window for CB Christian Braswell to return from IR

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie cornerback Christian Braswell will be back on the practice field for the first time since October after the team opened his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

Braswell, a sixth-round rookie, was a healthy scratch in Week 1, but played nine snaps on special teams over the next three weeks. He eventually landed on IR with a hamstring injury.

Jacksonville has dealt with a few injuries at the cornerback position, including losing Tyson Campbell for four games over a five-week stretch due to hamstring issues. In a Week 13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, veteran cornerback Tre Herndon suffered a concussion and second-year cornerback Gregory Junior was dealing with cramps.

Braswell spent three seasons at Temple before finishing his collegiate career with one year at Rutgers where he earned second-team All-Big Ten honors. He recorded 11 pass breakups and three interceptions in his sole season with the Scarlet Knights.
