The Jaguars signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris to their active roster on Tuesday, reuniting with the sixth-year pro after he originally signed with Jacksonville via undrafted free agency out of Duke in 2019.
Giles-Harris fills the roster spot vacated by tight end Evan Engram, who the Jaguars placed on their injured reserve on Dec. 14.
Giles-Harris spent the 2019-20 seasons between Jacksonville’s practice squad and active roster. He made 14 appearances and three starts with the Jaguars, accumulating 23 total tackles including two for loss and one sack.
He has since played for the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, appearing in six games and tallying six tackles over his three active seasons with the teams.
Giles-Harris signed to the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad last week, after being released by New England on Dec. 2.
Giles-Harris’ signing follows Jaguars rotational linebacker Ventrell Miller injuring his ankle in Jacksonville’s Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Doug Pederson labeled Miller “day to day” on Monday.
