Jaguars sign WR after tryout, release OL

Jaguars sign WR after tryout, release OL

Upon the conclusion of their mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, the Jaguars signed wide receiver Austin Trammell and released offensive lineman Jack Anderson, the team announced.

Trammell participated in Jacksonville’s mandatory minicamp between Monday and Wednesday on a tryout basis.

His signing was foreshadowed by Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson on Wednesday, who noted Jacksonville’s need for wide receiver depth following season-ending knee injuries to undrafted rookie receivers Wayne Ruby Jr. and David White Jr. over the last month.

“We’re down obviously couple receivers with David going down last week. We’re definitely looking to fill you couple spots before we head into camp,” Pederson said.

Undrafted out of Rice in 2021, Trammell spent the first season of his NFL career with Atlanta and the past two years with Los Angeles.

Trammell operated as the Rams’ primary punt returner in 2023, logging 25 attempts and averaging 7.3 yards per return. He also caught four passes for 29 yards, bringing his offensive totals with Los Angeles to six receptions for 42 yards.

Jacksonville claimed Anderson on waivers last week after he was let go by Indianapolis. He participated in the Jaguars’ mandatory minicamp and took reps at center with Mitch Morse and Luke Fortner excused from the practices.

A 2021 seventh-round NFL draft pick by Buffalo, Anderson has also played for Philadelphia and the New York Giants. He’s made 14 appearances over three seasons in the NFL, having logged 64 snaps at left guard, 50 snaps at center and 106 snaps at right guard.

The Jaguars will return to the Miller Electric Center in late July for training camp ahead of the 2024 preseason. Dates for training camp practices have yet to be announced.

Report: Jaguars claim former Colts OL

Report: Jaguars claim former Colts OL

Jacksonville claimed former Indianapolis interior offensive lineman Jack Anderson on waivers Friday, per John Shipley of Jaguar Report.

The Jaguars had an open spot on its offseason, 90-man roster following undrafted rookie wide receiver David White Jr.’s placement on injured reserve.

Anderson spent most of the 2023 campaign with Indianapolis, originally on the Colts’ practice squad before a promotion to the active roster in October, leading him to one appearance last season. He was reportedly let go on Thursday.

A seventh-round selection by Buffalo in the 2021 NFL draft, Anderson spent the early portion of his rookie season on the Bills’ practice squad before signing to Philadelphia’s active roster that September. A hamstring injury triggered his November placement on injured reserve before he returned in late December and appeared in two games at the end of the year.

Released by the Eagles the following preseason, Anderson was claimed by New York and spent the 2022 season with the Giants, appearing in 12 games and making two starts at guard. He signed a one-year contract extension with the team in February 2023 but was released six months later, steering him to join the Colts’ practice squad.

In total, Anderson has made 14 appearances over three seasons in the NFL, having logged 64 snaps at left guard, 50 snaps at center and 106 snaps at right guard.

Colts are reportedly releasing OL Jack Anderson

The Colts are reportedly releasing offensive lineman Jack Anderson, leaving them with an open roster spot. Here is what you need to know.

The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly releasing offensive lineman Jack Anderson, according to Tom Pelissero.

Anderson was a seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2021 and has since bounced around. Between time with Philadelphia in 2021 and the New York Giants in 2022, Anderson has played 229 career offensive snaps at both guard and center positions.

After being waived by the Giants prior to Week 1 of last season, Anderson was signed to the Colts practice squad and then to the active roster in late October. Anderson appeared in one game, playing six special teams snaps for the Colts in 2023.

The offensive line is a position group for the Colts that has become quite crowded, leaving Anderson as the odd man out.

The Colts are returning all five starters from last season, along with spending draft third and fourth-round draft picks on Matt Goncalves and Tanor Bortolini. They also have Wesley French, Josh Sills, and Danny Pinter on the roster as well, among others.

Releasing Anderson now leaves the Colts with an open roster spot. For what it’s worth, they did have six players in for tryouts during minicamp and could potentially fill their roster void by signing one of them. To learn more about the tryout candidates, click here.

Colts re-sign G Jack Anderson

The Colts brought back Jack Anderson on a one-year deal.

The Indianapolis Colts signed guard Jack Anderson to a contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, it’s a one-year deal for Anderson.

Anderson appeared in one game for the Colts during the 2023 season but spent the majority of the campaign on the practice squad and the injured list due to a calf injury he suffered with the New York Giants during the preseason.

He returned to the practice squad in October when he became healthy. Anderson can play both guard positions while providing some depth at center, and he’ll fight for a roster spot throughout the spring and summer.

Colts vs. Raiders: Final injury report for Week 17

Here is the final injury report for the Colts and Raiders in Week 17.

The Indianapolis Colts (8-7) and Las Vegas Raiders (7-8) released their final injury reports Friday ahead of the Week 17 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Here’s a look at the final injury report for the Colts in Week 17:

*DNP = Did Not Participate — LP = Limited Participant — FP = Full Participant*

Notes

  • RB Zack Moss appeared to have a setback with his forearm injury so the Colts will be down a player in the backfield.
  • WR Michael Pittman Jr. is expected to play after clearing the concussion protocol but considering what happened last week, this is still a situation to monitor.
  • RT Braden Smith is expected to make his return from a three-game absence (really four) after practicing in full all week. Still, he’s listed as questionable.
  • CB Kenny Moore II popped up on the injury report Friday with a new injury so that will certainly be something to monitor.

Colts rule out 3 players vs. Falcons in Week 16

The Colts ruled out a trio of players Friday for the Week 16 game against the Falcons.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out three players ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced Friday.

Center Jack Anderson (illness), linebacker Segun Olubi (hip) and right tackle Braden Smith (knee) were all ruled out Friday for the road game against the Falcons. None of the three players practiced this week in any capacity.

While Olubi will miss his second consecutive game due to a hip injury, a rough season for Smith continues.

This will be his third consecutive game missed due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 13, in which he only played three snaps. Including Sunday and the Week 13 game, Smith has missed eight games this season.

Replacing Smith at right tackle will be rookie Blake Freeland, who will make his eighth start of the season and sixth at right tackle. The fourth-round pick has played at least 95% of the snaps in 10 games this season.

In other injury news, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) cleared the protocol and will play while running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) appears ready to return after a three-game absence.

Running back Zack Moss (forearm) didn’t practice all week but was not ruled out Friday. He will be questionable on the final Week 16 injury report, which will be released later Friday.
