Jaguars Activate OL Josh Wells From Injured Reserve, Place OL Patrick Omameh On I.R.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially activated OL Josh Wells from the injured reserve list on Monday and placed OL Patrick Omameh on injured reserve.

Wells, 24, wound up going undrafted out of James Madison back in May of 2014 before signing a three-year, $1.53 million contract with the Jaguars. He stands to make a base salary of $600,000 for the 2016 season before testing the open market as a restricted free agent next year.

Jacksonville elected to place Wells on injured reserve coming out of the preseason as they got their roster down to 53 players.

In 2014, Well appeared in 12 games for the Jaguars.

Omameh, 26, originally signed on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan back in 2013. He lasted just a few months in San Francisco before he was cut and later signed to the Buccaneers’ active roster a few months into the 2013 season.

After a few seasons with the Buccaneers, Omameh was claimed off of waivers by the Bears at the start of the 2015 season. Jacksonville later signed him to a one-year, $675,000 contract back in June.

In 2016, Omameh appeared in 10 games for the Jaguars and is rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 26 guard out of 76 qualifying players.
