The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a pair of roster moves at the cornerback position.
The team announced on Wednesday that they had placed Zechariah McPhearson on the reserve/injured list and signed Keni-H Lovley to bolster the depth at the cornerback position.
Lovely went undrafted in 2024 out of Western Michigan. He initially signed with the Buffalo Bills as a UDFA. He has no regular-season NFL experience.
This past spring, Lovely played for the Michigan Panthers in the UFL, totaling 26 tackles, nine passes defensed, and one pick-six.
Most recently, Lovely was with the Arizona Cardinals for a portion of training camp.
During Lovely’s final season at Western Michigan, he allowed a completion rate of 50% on 32 targets with two interceptions and four pass breakups. He graded out well against the run by PFF’s metrics, but did surrender almost 17 yards per catch on the completions he did give up.
McPhearson spent time on the Jaguars practice squad last season. He played 23 snaps in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh. Specifics around McPhearson’s injury haven’t been reported at this time.
