Jaguars sign DT Carl Davis waive WR C.J. Board

The Jaguars made a transaction Monday to add some help in the defensive trenches as they’ve struggled against the run.

The Jacksonville Jaguars started the week with a roster transaction Monday by signing defensive tackle Carl Davis. To make room on the roster, they waived receiver C.J. Board.

Davis, 27, was drafted out of Iowa by the Baltimore Ravens in the third-round (No. 90 overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played there until September of 2018 and was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns afterward. He remained with Cleveland until August of this year and was released as the team was shaping their final 53-man roster and spent a brief moment with the Indianapolis Colts afterward.

Davis will enter his tenure with the Jags with 31 career tackles while appearing in 34 games and starting in 12. According to the Jaguars’ official site, he’ll wear the No. 79.
