Two former Jaguars join AFC South rival’s practice squad

The Colts signed two former Jaguars, defensive lineman Adam Gotsis and cornerback Gregory Junior, to their practice squad Wednesday.

Jacksonville will host Indianapolis in Week 5 for the first of two meetings between the Jaguars and Colts this season, on Oct. 6.

The Jaguars waived Gotsis and Junior on Aug, 6, the latter with an injury designation that briefly led him to Jacksonville’s injured reserve, which he was let go from with a settlement on Aug. 15.

Jacksonville signed safety Adrian Amos and defensive tackle Jonathan Marshall to fill the roster spots created by waiving Gotsis and Junior. Amos was released and Marshall was waived during the Jaguars’ preseason roster cuts. Both remain free agents.

Gotsis spent four seasons with Jacksonville, 2020-23, after launching his NFL career with Denver in 2016 as a second-round NFL draft pick out of Georgia Tech.

Gotsis tallied 109 total tackles including 16 for loss and 5.5 sacks, forced one fumble and broke up nine passes in 64 games with the Jaguars, starting 26.

Junior, an Ouachita Baptist product and Jacksonville’s sixth round, No. 197 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, appeared in 10 games over two seasons before his waiving. He recorded 17 tackles with two for loss and one defended pass with the Jaguars.
