JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars made a pair of roster moves on Thursday, placing receiver Terry Godwin on injured reserve and signing receiver Pharoh Cooper.

Cooper has played in 62 career games since entering the league in 2016 with the Rams. Cooper spent last season with the Panthers and played in all 16 games. His greatest asset is as a kick and punt return man. He was a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection in 2017 after amassing 1,421 all-purpose yards and returning a kickoff for a touchdown.
