Jacksonville Jaguars Roster Moves Review: Offensive Line Is Heavy but Light

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a number of roster moves in order to get their active 53-man roster in place for next Sunday's season opener.

The Jaguars had no major surprises among the players they cut, which, according to a press release on Jaguars.com, include:

Courtney Greene, Corvey Irvin, Rod Issac, Trumaine McBride, Richard Murphy, Jordan Palmer, William Robinson, Leigh Torrence, Demetrius Williams, Daniel Baldridge, Colin Cloherty, Odrick Ray (waived/injured), Will Ta’ufo’ou, Kendrick Adams, Lee Barbiasz, Mike Brown, Ryan Davis, Antonio Dennard, D.J. Hall, Joshua Jones and J.K. Schaffer.

Issac was a 2011 fifth-round draft choice by the Jaguars.
 
The biggest announcement was that former starting lineman Will Rackley was placed on injured reserve. Rackley was a mess in 2011, but observers were hoping for more from him in 2012. His injured ankle will now cost him the entirety of his second season.

The Jaguars have been thin along the offensive line all preseason, as they have suffered one injury after another. The line has completely been reshuffled from what it was envisioned to be in the offseason. Outside of Eugene Monroe, the Jaguars have questions marks at guard and tackle, as well as with their backups.

Several practice squad signings were announced by Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union via Twitter.

Other roster adjustments will have to be made if Maurice Jones-Drew reports to work. Today Mike Mularkey told reporters he has heard that it is possible Jones-Drew could show up tomorrow. According to the AP, Mularkey said, "I heard the same things like you have, but nothing from people that need to tell me. Nothing personally from Maurice.”

Currently Jones-Drew is on the Reserve-Did Not Report list, and does not count against the Jaguars' 53-man limit.
