Jaguars Adjust Wide Receiver Depth Chart After Waiving Joshua Cephus

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver room is largely set with Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown, Travis Hunter, and Parker Washington expected to make the team. However, the fifth and potential sixth spots are still up for grabs.

The waiving of Joshua Cephus introduces uncertainty. Cephus, an undrafted free agent who spent time on the practice squad last season, had a chance to secure a roster spot. His departure opens the door for other contenders like Eli Pancol and Austin Trammell, who have shown promise in training camp and preseason.

Trenton Irwin’s stock has risen, and he appears likely to secure one of the final spots. Irwin’s special teams experience and ability to contribute in the passing game make him a valuable asset.

The competition for the final spot includes Dorian Singer, who is third on the team in receiving yards this preseason, and Chandler Brayboy, who leads the team’s receivers in special teams snaps. Austin Trammell has also handled some return duties, adding to his versatility.

The Jaguars could also opt to keep only five receivers if no one definitively emerges as the sixth option. The final decision will likely depend on players’ performance in the preseason finale and their ability to contribute on special teams.
