Jaguars Sign Nathan Rourke To Active Roster

12 months ago

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed quarterback Nathan Rourke to the active 53-man roster on Saturday from the practice squad, according to a source. Rourke will give the Jaguars some quarterback insurance this weekend with Trevor Lawrence (ankle) a game-time decision on Sunday following a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksonville hasn't ruled Lawrence out in Week 14, but the Rourke move might be a clue that he's on his way to being inactive. It wouldn't be a surprise, as athletes typically require anywhere from three to five weeks to return from high-ankle sprains. If Lawrence is officially inactive on Sunday morning, Rourke would serve as the backup to C.J. Beathard against the Cleveland Browns.
