The Jacksonville Jaguars had an available spot their practice squad and filled it with the signing of offensive tackle Ryan Pope, putting them back at 10 players on the unit. Per Arron Wilson, the move came after the Jags worked Pope out this week with two other offensive tackles in Tyler Jones and Marcus Applefield.

Pope, 22, signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent in May and later found himself with the San Fransisco 49ers in September. He played collegiately at San Diego State University where he participated in 38 games and had 24 starts with the Aztecs. During his senior campaign in 2018, he started all 13 games for San Diego State and earned Second-Team All-Mountain West honors in the process.
He and Blake Hance are currently the only two offensive lineman on the Jags’ practice squad. If Pope sees the field in all probability it will be next preseason as the Jags will likely look to develop him this season.
