Bortles insurance? Jaguars sign QB Landry Jones
The Jacksonville Jaguars made a move during a bye week to bolster depth at the quarterback position.
The Jaguars signed Landry Jones to a free-agent contract, the team announced Wednesday morning. Terms were not disclosed.
Jones' signing comes as starting quarterback Blake Bortles, a right-handed thrower, is dealing with an injury to his left shoulder, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The injury is not expected to affect Bortles' availability when the Jaguars return from the bye in Week 10, Pelissero added.
