Jaguars Sign John Rhys Plumlee to Practice Squad

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed quarterback John Rhys Plumlee to their practice squad after he was waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Plumlee, who went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, impressed during training camp and preseason with his versatility, playing as a quarterback, receiver, and kick returner. Despite strong performances, he was unable to secure a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster, leading to his decision to join Jacksonville. With the Jaguars, he will back up starter Trevor Lawrence and gain an opportunity to develop his skills further. Plumlee had a notable college career at UCF, throwing for 4,857 yards and 29 touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a dual-threat player. His signing fills a slot on the Jaguars' practice squad following the release of E.J. Perry.
