Two of the players who the Jacksonville Jaguars waived on Tuesday have cleared waivers and will revert to the team’s injured reserve list. Those players were receivers Josh Imatorbhebhe and Tim Jones, both of whom missed the Jags’ first preseason game against the Cleveland Browns with unspecified injuries Saturday.
Both Imatorbhebhe and Jones joined the Jags after going undrafted in May. Imatorbhebhe, who many saw as a potential red-zone threat due to his 46.5-inch vert (would’ve been a combine record) joined the team after playing collegiate football at the University of Illinois, where he finished with 55 catches for 931 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
As for Jones, he went to Southern Miss and exited his collegiate career there with 150 receptions for 2,011 yards and nine touchdowns.
Both players will not count against the Jags’ current roster on injured reserve. They will join defensive tackle Daniel Ross there, who was also a player who the Jags placed on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered an ankle injury Saturday against the Cleveland Browns.
