Jaguars re-sign DT Carl Davis

The Jags will be bringing back veteran DT Carl Davis despite him being suspended the first four weeks of the season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced the re-signing of fifth-year defensive tackle Carl Davis Monday afternoon.

Davis joined the Jags’ roster Week 13 and recorded one tackle in his limited playing time with them. Davis (6-foot-5, 320 pounds) has appeared in 36 games throughout his career, posting 32 tackles with two tackles for loss.

Davis will now join Taven Bryan, Abry Jones, Rodney Gunter, Brian Price, and Dontavius Russell at the defensive tackle position but will have to sit out the team’s first four games due to suspension (substance violation). Even with his signing, the team will surely look to add some pieces in the draft, re-fortifying their once stout line.

While Davis isn’t the big impact, playmaking type of player that fans get excited about, he does provide some much-needed depth on the interior of the defensive line. With the NFL Draft now just three weeks away, Dave Caldwell seems to be trying to plug up some holes which will put him in position to draft the best players available at the top of the draft.

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.
