The Jacksonville Jaguars made several transactions Saturday to prepare their roster for Week 15’s road trip to Baltimore.
As expected, the most important transaction was activating cornerback Chris Claybrooks (core muscle) and guard Andrew Norwell (forearm), both of whom were designated to return from injured reserve this week. Norwell will be returning to his role as the starting left guard, while Claybrooks will likely have to enter the starting lineup, too, as Sidney Jones (Achilles) was ruled out.
The Jags also activated Tre Herndon from the Reserve/COVID-19 list after he was placed on it Wednesday. This news is pretty significant for the cornerback position as Herndon is the most experienced boundary corner on the perimeter with 23 career starts to his name.
The Jags also elected to snag some help from their practice squad by activating cornerback Quenton Meeks via a standard practice squad elevation and offensive lineman Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms via a COVID-19 Replacement transaction. Again, Meeks’ addition helps the Jags at the spot where they are the most wounded, while Wallace-Simms gives the Jags a backup offensive lineman to replace Ben Bartch, who went on the Reserve/ COVID-19 list this week.
