The Jaguars made a few roster moves outside of trading offensive tackle Cam Robinson to the Vikings on Tuesday.
Jacksonville signed offensive lineman Blake Hance to its active roster off its practice squad, signed free agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to the practice squad and released running back Jake Funk from the practice squad, the team announced.
Jacksonville claimed Hance off waivers during the 2022 season and kept him on the active roster through the 2023 campaign. The hybrid tackle/guard was released this preseason and signed to the Jaguars’ practice squad in late August.
Hance has appeared in 26 games with the Jaguars, including one start last season against Baltimore in Week 16. He has played in 50 regular season games in his career, making nine starts, the other eight with the Cleveland Browns.
Jones joins the Jaguars’ practice squad after beginning his career with Chicago, which selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft. He caught 12 passes for 135 yards and one touchdown, rushed 19 times for 165 yards and one touchdown and returned 39 kickoffs for 26.7 yards on average over 27 appearances with the Bears.
Funk signed with Jacksonville’s practice squad on Oct. 1 and was elevated to the Jaguars’ active roster for Week 7 against the New England Patriots and Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He did not take the field in either contest.
