The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost rookie WR Jarrett Dillard for the year due to a broken ankle/leg. Dillard played in 7 games for the Jags this season and he caught 6 passes for 106 yards (17.7 avg). The Jaguars will replace Dillard as the #4 WR with rookie 7th round pick Tiquan Underwood out of Rutgers. He has not caught any passes yet this year for the Jaguars.
The Jaguars have claimed 26-year old safety Anthony Smith off waivers from the Rams. Smith played in 2 games for the Rams this season and he made 4 tackles including one of them that was for a loss. Smith has played in 48 games in his 4-year NFL career and he has made 110 tackles, forced 1 fumble, defensed 11 passes and he has 4 interceptions. Smith replaces CB Scott Starks on the roster as he was placed on the Injured Reserve List with a injured hip. Starks played in 5 games for the Jaguars this season and he had 7 tackles.
The Jaguars have lost WR Troy Williamson for the season due to a torn labrum in his shoulder. Williamson caught 3 passes for 34 yards (11.3 avg) this season for the Jaguars. The Jags had high hopes for Williamson after he had a stellar pre-season.
The Jaguars have lost backup defensive end Reggie Hayward for the season due to a broken shin. The 30-year old had two tackles in the season opener against the Colts. He has now played 4 years with the Jags appearing in 44 games in which he has 67 tackles, has defensed 10 passes, has 17.5 sacks and he has forced 5 fumbles. The Jags don’t have much depth on the D-Line so they will miss Hayward.
The Jaguars have claimed rookie CB Don Carey off waivers from the Browns. Carey was a sixth round pick last April out of Norfolk State. Carey played in 44 games (40 starts) in his career at Norfolk State and he made 179 tackles, broke up 25 passes, had 10 interceptions (181 return yards), forced 2 fumbles and he recovered 4 fumbles. Carey was dinged up when the Browns released him but he does have a nice little upside.
UPDATE: The Jaguars have placed Don Carey on the Injured Reserve List ending his rookie season with a shoulder injury.
