Jaguars Add Nathan Rourke To Active Roster

one year ago

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed quarterback Nathan Rourke from their practice squad to the 53-man active roster on Wednesday, according to a source. Rourke will give the team some more insurance at QB for Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints with starter Trevor Lawrence (knee) questionable to play. Lawrence is on the right side of questionable for the Week 7 contest, but if the Jaguars play is safe and hold him out on a short week, Rourke will serve as C.J. Beathard's backup in the Big Easy. The 25-year-old Rourke has never appeared in an NFL game.
