JACKSONVILLE — Former University of Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.
Dobbs, who came into the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was cut as Jacksonville trimmed its roster to 53 players in preparation for the upcoming 2020 season that begins this week.
The Jaguars traded for Dobbs last season, but he did not see the field after going to North Florida.
Dobbs entered the NFL in 2017 as he was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round that year. He was selected with 135th overall pick.
In 2019, Dobbs was traded to the Jaguars for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick.
He has played sparingly as a pro, appearing in six games, all with the Steelers in 2018.
Dobbs is 6-for-12 with 43 yards in his career. He has one interception and has not thrown for a touchdown pass in the NFL.
