After trading former second-round pick Laviska Shenault and cutting Laquon Treadwell on Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars further decimated their receiving depth by parting with Kevin Austin Jr. on Tuesday morning, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame was a long shot to make the team’s final roster, but his size and speed made him an intriguing prospect throughout the training camp process.
Now down to just five receivers on their official depth chart, the Jaguars are set to lean on their top-end talents Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones Jr. and Zay Jones in the passing game this season. Undrafted rookie Tim Jones was one of the team’s brightest stars in the preseason and looks to play a key role in the team’s offense this season.
