The Jaguars need all the help they can get on offense, and now they’re short at tight end.
In addition to cutting starting right tackle Cameron Bradfield today, the Jaguars placed tight end Marcedes Lewis on injured reserve/designated for return.
That will keep Lewis out for at least eight weeks, though he can begin practicing after six.
That fits the time frame coach Gus Bradley announced earlier this week for Lewis, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to Washington.
The Jaguars better hope wideout Cecil Shorts gets back soon from his hamstring injury, or an already bad offense is just going to get worse.
