The Jaguars made three practice squad moves Tuesday, signing running back Jake Funk and cornerback Tyler Hall while releasing undrafted rookie running back Jalen Jackson from the unit, the club announced.
Jacksonville had an opening on its practice squad after signing tight end Josiah Deguara to its active roster Saturday. Jackson’s release created the second necessary vacancy for the Jaguars to sign Funk and Hall.
A seventh-round NFL draft pick by Los Angeles in 2021, from Maryland, Funk appeared in 15 games over one and a half seasons with the Rams before beginning to hop around practice squads, aligning with New Orleans, Indianapolis, Miami, Baltimore and most recently Detroit. He was twice promoted to the Colts’ active roster, in 2022 and 2023.
Over 20 career appearances, Funk has rushed four times for 15 yards and caught one pass for 12 yards. He has also returned four kickoffs for 22 yards on average and recorded three special teams tackles.
Hall went undrafted out of Wyoming in 2020 and signed with Atlanta. He recorded six tackles as a rookie but was waived the next preseason. Claimed by the Rams, he eventually landed on Los Angeles’ practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for four games during the 2021 campaign.
With Las Vegas between 2022-23, Hall appeared in 18 games and made six starts, recording 40 total tackles including two for loss and one sack.
Hall signed with Philadelphia this offseason but landed on the Eagles’ injured reserve, leading to his release with an injury settlement in August. He signed with Seattle’s practice squad last week but was released Saturday.
