Jaguars waive rookie WR Jaray Jenkins from IR with settlement

Undrafted rookie wide receiver Jaray Jenkins was waived from the Jacksonville Jaguars’ injured reserve with a settlement on Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston.

Jenkins, 23, was one of more than two dozen Jaguars players waived by the team during final cuts last week. After catching two passes for 32 yards through the Jaguars’ first two preseason games, Jenkins sat out the last game due to an injury. According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the rookie wide receiver had foot surgery last week.

As a player who was waived with an injury designation, Jenkins returned to the Jaguars’ injured reserved after clearing waivers. Now Jenkins is a free agent after reaching an injury settlement with the team.

With seven receivers on the active roster — including rookies Parker Washington and Elijah Cooks — as well as Jacob Harris and Seth Williams on the practice squad, the Jaguars are loaded at the position. While Jenkins had a couple moments in preseason, his path to a role in Jacksonville was muddy, to say the least.

Prior to joining the Jaguars, Jenkins was a three-year starter at LSU where he recorded 1,370 receiving yards and 14 touchdown receptions.
