Jaguars signed seventh-round CB Jeremy Harris to a four-year contract.

Harris is going to have to put on some weight and get stronger, but at 6-foot-2 he fits Jacksonville's new press-man scheme in the secondary. He also had a valuable pre-draft connection to Jaguars DBs coach DeWayne Walker, Harris' head coach at New Mexico State. Harris will compete for a roster spot in camp.

Rookie WR Ace Sanders (ab, hip) has resumed practicing at Jaguars OTAs.

The Florida Times Union reported on May 15 that Sanders might miss the rest of the month, but he was back working on Monday. Sanders will compete for return duties as a rookie, and push Jordan Shipley for snaps at slot receiver.
May 20 - 1:23 PM

Jaguars DT D'Anthony Smith is on the roster bubble.

Deservedly so. Smith, the former third-round reach by since-fired GM Gene Smith, has missed all but eight games in his three-year career, and he's amassed just ten tackles. The Jaguars added Roy Miller, Sen'Derrick Marks, Kyle Love, and Brandon Deaderick to their defensive tackle rotation this offseason.

Jaguars claimed DT Kyle Love off waivers from the Patriots.

Love, 26, was waived by the Pats after recently being diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. New England gave him the choice of sitting out a year or taking his walking papers and finding work elsewhere. Love started 24 games over the last two seasons, recording 58 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He'll likely compete with Roy Miller to fill the Brandon Mebane nose-tackle role in Gus Bradley's defense.

Former Patriots DT Kyle Love's agent says his client will not pursue legal action against the team right now.

Per PFT, the Patriots cut Love for one reason: He has Type-2 diabetes. The former starting defensive tackle could have a case under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but Love's current focus is on finding a new team. The Patriots clearly didn't think Love would be able to contribute this season after recently losing 20 pounds. There's a good chance another team will.

Jaguars signed C Dan Gerberry.

A former undrafted free agent out of Ball State in 2009, Gerberry has spent some time in the Lions organization. He's never appeared in an NFL game.
May 16 - 9:40 AM

The Jaguars are "encouraged" by undrafted WR Tobais Palmer.

"We talked about him quite a bit after the rookie minicamp," coach Gus Bradley said. "We really like his speed and we’re trying to move him around to find a home for him." Palmer has a history of migraines, and they have forced him to sit out the last two days of OTAs. He has a chance to stick on a roster with a coaching staff promoting competition at every position.

Patriots released/non-football illness DT Kyle Love.

Only 26 years old and a 24-game starter next to Vince Wilfork the past two seasons, Love recently lost a large amount of weight and was diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. The Love camp is confident he'll be 100 percent soon. Love recorded 4.5 sacks between 2011 and 2012, and last year graded out as a top-20 run-stuffing defensive tackle in Pro Football Focus' ratings, although the Pats had clearly begun to sour on him. Still young with a history of effectiveness, 6-foot-1, 310-pound Love should generate interest around the NFL.

Jaguars RB/WR Denard Robinson is also taking snaps under center in OTAs.

Asked if Robinson was taking snaps as a quarterback or Wildcat specialist, coach Gus Bradley said "we don't have to tell you." It would be far from surprising if the Jags installed a Wildcat package for the long-time college signal caller, but Robinson isn't going to pop up on the quarterback depth chart. That ship has sailed for "Shoelace."
May 15 - 4:45 PM

Jaguars DT Tyson Alualu will play defensive end in new coach Gus Bradley's hybrid 4-3 defense.

A three-technique interior pass rusher his first three seasons, Alualu managed just 9.5 sacks across 48 games. The left defensive end spot in Bradley's defense is also known as "five technique" and was manned by Red Bryant in Seattle. Generously listed at 6-foot-3, 304, Alualu is unlikely to give the Jaguars the same kind of run-stopping ability as Bryant, but that'll be his new role.
May 15 - 1:46 PM

The Associated Press' Mark Long called Wednesday's OTAs session the "worst day of quarterback play I've witnessed at Jaguars practice in years."

Long's assessment comes one day after he observed Blaine Gabbert "(continuing) to struggle with short passes." In Gabbert's defense, the Jags are installing a new system, but the fact that he still can't even light up practice more than two years after being the No. 10 overall pick is a troubling sign. We'd suspect the Jags pull the plug on the Gabbert experiment early this season, with an eye toward finding his "successor" in the 2014 draft.
May 15 - 1:39 PM

Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne are splitting reps at Jaguars OTAs.

"We're rotating by period," coach Gus Bradley said. "There's a lot of competition and they're battling it. Everything we do we're trying to create some sort of competition for our team. Hopefully as OTAs go on, we get more and more of those situations to evaluate them." Bradley is bringing the Seahawks' mantra of competition to Jacksonville. Russell Wilson didn't win the starting gig until August 26 of last season.
May 15 - 10:58 AM

Coach Gus Bradley said he's giving suspended WR Justin Blackmon a clean slate.

Blackmon has two DUI arrests and a four-game substance-abuse violation on his resume since 2010. But none of that occurred while Bradley was in contact with the 2012 No. 5 overall pick. The pair is having regular conversations as Blackmon tries to stabilize his life and career. "He's never done anything wrong with me. It'd be different if I was talking to him and I didn't feel like we were connecting at all. I do feel a connection," Bradley said.
May 15 - 10:40 AM

Jaguars fourth-round WR Ace Sanders (ab, hip) may not participate in offseason activities until next month.

At 5'7/173, Sanders already had durability questions before he even began his NFL career. Missing the first month of your rookie year won't help. Sanders is aiming to carve out a role in the return game and as depth in the slot.
May 15 - 10:04 AM

Jaguars claimed DL Brandon Deaderick off waivers from the Patriots.

Deaderick and his $630,000 salary were waived on Monday. Deaderick has played at least 260 snaps each of the past three seasons, but is a mere body as a run defender and offers nothing as a pass rusher. Deaderick's salary makes him a strong contender for a roster spot as the Jags remake their front seven, but he's not going to suddenly make noise in his new home.
