Herbert

Herbert had initially chose to join the Jaguars squad after being a late cut by Jacksonville, but instead he’ll join his big brother Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. Nepotism doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.

We at Rotoworld are dedicated to giving you all the Chandler Brayboy and Keni-H Lovely updates we can. Here’s what we know: They both signed reserve/futures contracts after spending all year on the Jaguars practice squad. That’s all we got. More to come later.

After three years with the Dolphins that yielded just five total games on the active roster, Ezukanma has taken his talents to Atlantic Beach. Joining Ezukanma on Jacksonville’s practice squad are: WR Chandler Brayboy, OL Jerome Carvin, LB Branson Combs, QB Seth Henigan, TE Patrick Herbert, RB Ja’Quinden Jackson, OL Ricky Lee, CB Keni-H Lovely, TE Quintin Morris, DB Jabbar Muhammad, DL Keivie Rose, DB Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, WR Dorian Singer, OL Sal Wormley and DL Matt Dickerson. It’s a strong collection of names and we definitely didn’t do this blurb just to point out that Keni-H Lovely is a great manga.

No word as to what Johnson (6'4/258) has been limited by in recent practices, but he’s apparently close to being at full strength. And this is good news for Oregon, which saw another tight end (Patrick Herbert) suffer a significant knee injury during this past Saturday’s scrimmage. Johnson has been used more as a blocker during his Oregon career, but that could change this fall.

Herbert (6'5/248), who did not play at all last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, suffered the knee injury during Saturday’s scrimmage. While Cristobal offered no specifics regarding the severity of the injury, he did describe it as a “pretty good” one. That doesn’t bode well for Herbert when it comes to his being available for the Ducks’ season opener against Fresno State (Sept. 4). Herbert has appeared in just one game in his Oregon career, the 2019 season opener against Nevada.

Before you ask, yes, Herbert is the younger brother of Oregon starting quarterback Justin Herbert. Considering the relationship -- and the fact that Herbert is from Eugene -- this was a foregone conclusion, but the 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end also had offers from schools like Penn State, Nebraska and Cal. He ranks 13th among tight ends in 247 Sports ranking, and the top player in the state of Oregon. The question now is whether or not he’ll have a chance to catch passes from big bro, as Herbert is considered one of the top prospects at the position for the 2019 draft.
