Jaguars sign Jahlani Tavai, waive Jared Bartlett due to injury

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed linebacker Jahlani Tavai and waived Jared Bartlett with an injury designation. Bartlett suffered a lower body injury during the August 4 training camp practice. This marks the second linebacker injury since the start of training camp, as Jack Kiser also sustained a knee injury on the first day. Tavai, a seven-year veteran, joins a linebacker group aiming to fill the void left by Devin Lloyd's departure to the Carolina Panthers in free agency. The Jaguars have already made multiple roster moves, previously signing offensive lineman Sam Mustipher on August 5.
