The Jacksonville Jaguars have made several transactions to their roster this week and that didn’t stop Thursday. The team promoted C.J. Board from their practice squad to the active roster again, giving them a healthier bunch at the receiver position. To make room for the move, the Jags waived rookie cornerback Tae Hayes, who had been on the active roster since late October.

Board, 26, was waived by the Jags two weeks ago, but they eventually brought him back through their practice squad. Prior to that he had been on the Jags’ active roster dating back to when they named their final 53-man roster this season. He only managed to accumulate one catch for 23 yards this season due to mostly being inactive throughout the regular season.
The decision to bring back Board to the active roster likely has to do with the status of DJ Chark, who injured his ankle Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-year receiver missed both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practice sessions, which isn’t a good sign that he will be able to return this week.
