Report: Jaguars rookie being placed on IR with designation to return
The Jaguars are reportedly placing one of their rookies on IR with a designation to return this season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed rookie defensive end Zach Durfee on injured reserve, according to reports from CBS Sports. The move is made with the intent of him returning to the team, sources revealed. Durfee, a former standout from the University of Washington, was selected by Jacksonville in the seventh round of the April draft.
He had shown promise during offseason programs and the early stages of training camp. However, Durfee is currently grappling with an upper-body injury that has sidelined him, preventing him from playing in the preseason finale. Consequently, he is expected to miss a minimum of four games. Despite his absence, the Jaguars are reportedly maintaining interest in another defensive end, UDFA Bryan Thomas Jr.
