The Jacksonville Jaguars will go into their bout with the Pittsburgh Steelers with only two quarterbacks on their roster.
Jacksonville released third-string arm Ryan Nassib on Saturday to make room for second-year offensive lineman Chris Reed. Blake Bortles and Chad Henne are the Jaguars' two remaining signal-callers.
Reed started four games for the Jags last season and will be part of the contingency plan on the offensive line as starting center Brandon Linder (illness) has been ruled out. Wide receiver Jaelen Strong was also ruled out with a hamstring.
Here are the other transactions from around the football world on Saturday:
- The Buffalo Bills cut wide receiver Philly Brown to make room for cornerback Greg Mabin on the active roster.
- The Dallas Cowboys officially activated defensive David Irving from the Reserve/Exempt list. He's expected to play on Sunday.
