After cutting nearly 20 players on Monday and Tuesday this week, the Jacksonville Jaguars continued paring down their roster by waiving four players and releasing a fifth on Wednesday. Among the casualties in the move were both of the team’s kickers, Jake Verity and James McCourt, who were in the midst of a preseason battle to become the team’s go-to leg on kickoffs and field goals.
Others who saw their time in Duval County come to an end were linebacker Jamir Jones, offensive lineman Will Richardson Jr. and safety Josh Thompson. Both Jones and Richardson were second-stringers on the Jaguars’ official depth chart, while Thomson was buried behind established talents in on the third-string in the secondary.
