Jaguars release OT Josh Wells with injury settlement

Offensive tackle Josh Wells is reportedly a free agent after negotiating an injury settlement with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to multiple reports.

The veteran lineman who began his career with the Jaguars in 2014, re-joined the team as a free agent earlier this year after spending the last four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he was listed as the second-team right tackle through camp and preseason, Jacksonville placed him on the season-ending injured reserve just before the end of August.

There was writing on the wall that he’d be released from the IR when rookie offensive tackle Anton Harrison switched his jersey from No. 76 to Wells’ No. 77 last week.

Wells is the third player, along with defensive lineman Henry Mondeaux and wide receiver Jaray Jenkins, to be released from the IR with a settlement in recent weeks.

After joining the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Wells appeared in 39 games and started nine over four seasons with the team. He played in 56 games with the Buccaneers and started 15.
