Jacksonville Jaguars sign Eli Cox, Kaevon Merriweather, and Hayden Rucci

The Jacksonville Jaguars updated their practice squad roster on Sept. 1 by signing offensive lineman Eli Cox, safety Kaevon Merriweather, and tight end Hayden Rucci. The moves bring the team to its 16-player practice squad limit, excluding international player Kilian Zierer. To accommodate these additions, the team released offensive tackle Jimto Obidegwu, who had previously been cut and re-signed by the organization. Cox brings experience from Kentucky, while Merriweather joins after previous stints with Tampa Bay and Houston. Rucci, the son of former NFL player Todd Rucci, joins the squad after playing at Wisconsin. Each of the three new signings entered the NFL as undrafted free agents.
