Jaguars claimed WR John Matthews off waivers from the Colts.

Matthews, who starred at non-scholarship D-IAA San Diego, will enter Jags camp very low on the depth chart. He’ll be lucky to make the practice squad.

Colts waived WR John Matthews.

Jaguars placed WR Jarett Dillard (toe) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Dillard was only expected to miss the season opener, so the stress fracture he suffered in the preseason is clearly more serious than previously expected. Dillard was competing for the team’s No. 2 WR job, and the injury is a big blow to his long term prospects. The team signed WR John Matthews off the practice squad to replace Dillard.

Jaguars waived WR John Matthews, WR Clarence Denmark, DT Walter Curry, OT Daniel Baldridge, and TE Mike Caussin.

Matthews posted ridiculous stats at D-1AA San Diego, but he’s lacking NFL talent. Denmark, undrafted out of Troy, is a candidate for the practice squad.

Jaguars waived WR John Matthews.

Matthews was elevated to the active roster in late 2010 to block the Colts - his former team - from signing him with Austin Collie (concussion) out. He could head back to Indy, but projects as nothing more than a practice squad player.
