The Jaguars promoted one receiver and waived another on Friday, signing Tommy Streeter from the practice squad and parting ways with Mike Brown, the club announced.
Streeter (6-5, 215) had been on the Jaguars’ practice squad since September 29. He spent the offseason and most of the preseason with Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old Streeter was a sixth-round pick of Baltimore in 2012 after playing collegiately at Miami (Fla.); he has never appeared in a regular-season game.
The 25-year-old Brown has played five games for the Jaguars in 2014, catching seven passes for 88 yards. Brown (5-10, 200) has hauled in 39 passes for 534 yards and two touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2012.
The Jaguars (1-10) host the Giants on Sunday. For younger players like Streeter, the final five games are an opportunity to make a positive impression for when Jacksonville turns the page to evaluating the roster for 2015.
