Gregory Junior Latest News
Visits Kansas City
Junior had a tryout with the Chiefs on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Junior's 2023 season came to a premature end last training camp due to an undisclosed injury that landed him on the Jaguars' injured reserve. His workout in Kansas City indicates his health is back up to par, but it remains to be seen if he will ultimately get a chance at training camp.
Waived by Jacksonville
Junior (undisclosed) was waived with an injury settlement by the Jaguars on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The settlement gives Junior a chance to play this season if he joins another team. The cornerback spent the past two seasons with the Jaguars, logging 107 defensive snaps and 17 tackles.
Moves to IR
Junior (undisclosed) reverted to the Jaguars' injured reserve Wednesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction log. Junior was waived/injured by Jacksonville yesterday and he's reverted to IR after clearing waivers. The 25-year-old cornerback will be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he can reach an injury settlement with the Jaguars.
Waived with injury
The Jaguars waived Junior (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday. If Junior clears waivers he will revert to IR, where he'd spend the entire 2024 season unless he can reach an injury settlement with Jacksonville. The 2022 sixth-round pick suited up for nine regular-season games last season and mostly contributed on special teams.
Returns to Jacksonville
The Jaguars re-signed Junior on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Junior was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason after playing in nine games last year. The cornerback mainly saw action on special teams and will look to carve out a depth role again in 2024.
Activated off IR
Junior was nearing the end of his 21-day window to be activated after being designated to return from IR on Oct. 23. While he has been activated, it remains to be seen if he will see the field in Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. With Tyson Campbell (hamstring) considered questionable, Junior could potentially see a relatively heavy workload right away.
Set to return to practice
Junior has spent the last six weeks on injured reserve with a hamstring injury he sustained Week 1, but he finally seems to be approaching a return to action ahead of Week 8. The Jaguars' injury reports over the week will shed more light on his potential availability for Sunday versus New Orleans.
