JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars made their 53-man roster official on Tuesday, keeping seven receivers and cutting three draft picks to get down to the NFL limit.
Among some of the surprising moves were Jacksonville keeping undrafted free agent receiver Elijah Cooks and cutting tight end Gerrit Prince. Other notable moves were the release of three draft picks, cornerback Erick Hallett II, fullback Derek Parish and defensive tackle Raymond Vohasek. Baker County High School graduate Cooper Hodges made the team, although he will be out for the foreseeable future with a patella injury.
