The Jaguars made a quintet of practice squad transactions on Wednesday, signing running back Myles Gaskin and offensive linemen Jerome Carvin and Dieter Eiselen to the unit and releasing punter Matt Haack and long snapper Tucker Addington.
Jacksonville had a practice squad opening created Tuesday when the Carolina Panthers signed running back and wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. away from the unit and onto their active roster. The Jaguars practice squad now stands at 17 players.
A seventh-round NFL draft pick by Miami in 2019, Gaskin played for the Dolphins through the 2022 season and has since bounced between practice squads and active rosters with the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams.
Gaskin has logged 364 rushing attempts for 1,354 yards and seven touchdowns, and 102 receptions for 712 yards and six touchdowns, in 45 NFL games, including 16 starts.
Carvin and Eiselen each joined Jacksonville’s practice squad in November but were released in recent weeks as the Jaguars made injury-related additions to the unit. Neither was promoted to the team’s active roster for a game during their previous stints.
Eiselen has made 24 appearances in his five-season NFL career; Carvin has not yet appeared in a game.
Haack and Addington’s releases indicate Jacksonville is pleased with the progress of starting punter Logan Cooke (left knee) and long snapper Ross Matiscik (hamstring) in their recovery from lower-body injuries.
Jacksonville added Haack and Addington for insurance last week, but Cooke and Matiscik were able to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
