Deguara (shoulder) registered three catches on as many targets for 14 yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024. Deguara signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Jaguars in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. He failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but after opting to stay on the practice squad he was eventually signed to Jacksonville's active roster in late September. Deguara was mostly used on special teams, though he did see a slight uptick in offensive snaps when Evan Engram (shoulder) was sidelined due to injury. Deguara will explore his options during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Deguara (shoulder) registered three catches on as many targets for 14 yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024. Deguara signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Jaguars in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. He failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but after opting to stay on the practice squad he was eventually signed to Jacksonville's active roster in late September. Deguara was mostly used on special teams, though he did see a slight uptick in offensive snaps when Evan Engram (shoulder) was sidelined due to injury. Deguara will explore his options during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
Deguara (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 2020 third-round pick from Cincinnati played 13 total snaps (three offensive and 10 on special teams) without recording any stats in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Titans, seemingly sustaining a shoulder injury in the process. If Deguara is sidelined for the Jags' Week 15 matchup against the Jets, it likely wouldn't affect their offensive gameplan, as he's caught just two passes in 11 games this season.
Deguara was on the field for three of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots. Deguara has suited up in each of Jacksonville's last five games and has been limited to two receptions for 10 yards on two targets. He's played no more than 10 snaps on offense in either of those contests, but his involvement on the Jaguars' special-teams units could be enough for Jacksonville to keep him active on game days moving forward.
The Jaguars signed Deguara to their active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Deguara was bumped down to Jacksonville's practice squad after playing 24 total snaps (10 offensive and 14 on special teams) during the team's Week 3 loss to the Bills, but he's now rejoined the active roster. Expect the first-year Jaguar to serve as a depth piece in Jacksonville's tight end room while also contributing on special teams in Week 4.
Deguara reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday. Deguara will elevated to the active roster for Monday's loss to the Bills, as Evan Engram (hamstring) was sidelined. The Cincinnati product saw 10 snaps on offense, catching his lone target for an eight-yard gain. If Engram isn't healthy enough to compete Sunday against the Texans, Deguara will likely get another opportunity with the active roster.
The Jaguars elevated Deguara to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bills. The Cincinnati product's elevation ensures depth at tight end with Evan Engram (hamstring) missing Jacksonville's Week 3 contest. Deguara last saw in-game action with the Packers in 2023, when he caught eight passes for 65 yards while playing 403 total snaps (187 offensive and 216 on special teams) across 15 regular-season games.
The Jaguars signed Deguara to their practice squad Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. The 2020 third-round pick out of Cincinnati spent the first four seasons of his career in Green Bay before inking a one-year deal with the Jaguars in March. Deguara failed to make Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster, but the team has decided to bring him back as a practice squad player.
The Jaguars released Deguara on Tuesday. Deguara inked a one-year deal with the Jaguars back in March after spending the first four seasons of his career with Green Bay. The Jaguars opted to retain Evan Engram, Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange at tight end over Deguara.
The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.
