The Jaguars moved starting wide receiver Gabe Davis to and rookie running back Keilan Robinson from their injured reserve on Tuesday, ending the former’s season and beginning the latter’s.
Davis was ruled out for the season with a reported meniscus tear, suffered in Jacksonville’s Week 11 loss to the Detroit Lions, by Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson on Monday.
“He is going to miss the rest of the season. It is confirmed, this morning,” Pederson said. “Gosh, I hate it for him. He’s battled through some injuries this season but he was in good spirits today when I saw him. But he’ll miss the remainder of the year.”
Davis finished his first season with the Jaguars having caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns. He signed a three-year, $39 million free-agent contract with Jacksonville in March after posting 163 receptions for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns over four years with Buffalo to begin his NFL career.
Robinson, Jacksonville’s No. 167 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft, has yet to play a down with the Jaguars after missing the preseason with a toe injury and being placed on injured reserve in August.
Over four seasons of college playing time, his first with Alabama and final three with Texas, Robinson rushed 116 times for 796 yards and eight touchdowns, caught 35 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns, averaged 23.5 yards per kickoff return and scored two special teams touchdowns.
