Dante Fowler officially on injured reserve as Jags drop to 75 players

Posted by Josh Alper on August 30, 2015, 1:13 PM EDT


The Jaguars didn’t need to wait until Tuesday’s deadline to set their 75-man roster.

The team made their moves on Saturday, a day after facing the Lions in their third preseason game of the year. One of the moves is something we’ve been anticipating since their rookie minicamp in May.

Defensive end and third overall pick Dante Fowler tore his ACL at the first practice of that minicamp, but has remained on the active roster because any earlier attempts to put him on injured reserve would have required Fowler to go through waivers. The team also placed tackle Josh Wells on injured reserve and waived/injured wide receiver Greg Jenkins.

Quarterback Jeff Tuel, cornerback Tommie Campbell and wide receiver Tandon Doss are probably the best-known names among the 12 players waived by Jacksonville. Linebacker Mister Alexander, defensive end Camaron Beard, offensive lineman Cody Booth, safety Desmond Cooper, defensive tackle Eric Crume, linebacker Khairi Fortt, tight end Connor Hamlett, kicker/punter Kasey Redfern and offensive lineman Jack Rummells were also dropped from the roster.

Chicago Bears cut veteran cornerback Tim Jennings

It's cut season around the NFL, and one veteran cornerback fell victim to a notable release Sunday.

The Chicago Bears have informed cornerback Tim Jennings that he's been released, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the team's plans. ESPN first reported the news.

"Once the whole regime came in and everybody was here, I kind of knew," Jennings told Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. "But they also gave me a heads up and told me I would be out there competing for a job. I had my best years here. I made two Pro Bowls. I played some good football. I had some ups and downs with injuries but for me, this is where I played my best football."

"They told me they were going to go younger," Jennings added, regarding the Bears' reasoning for the release. He added that he is looking forward to finding his next team.

Jennings played five seasons in Chicago, recording 16 interceptions, including a career-high nine in 2012. However, the nine-year veteran was coming off an off year, during which he played a full 16-game slate without a pick. To make matters worse, Jennings was arrested on charges of speeding, reckless driving and driving under the influence in January. He also underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason.

For what it's worth, Jennings was ranked as the 25th best cornerback in 2014 by Pro Football Focus. Though he's far better in the run game than in coverage, according to PFF's grading, he can still start in this league and shouldn't have a hard time finding a new landing spot.

Jennings is worth a look with Scandrick out for the year. With the way he played yesterday (and his history, of course), I have zero confidence in Mo Claiborne as a starting CB.

Dam is he still trying to play?

I will say it. Despite age and injury concerns I am that desperate I want to give him a shot.
