Mike Klis of 9 News reports that the Jaguars have claimed CB Taurean Nixon off of waivers from the Broncos on Thursday.
- The Jaguars officially waived DB Jeremy Cutrer in a corresponding move.
Nixon, 26, was taken in the seventh-round of the 2015 NFL draft. He was unable to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but was later signed to their practice squad.
Denver promoted Nixon to their active roster back in January of last year but was re-signed to the practice squad after being among the team’s final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
Nixon was on and off of the Broncos’ roster last season but was just recently cut loose.
In 2016, Nixon appeared in two games for the Broncos and recorded one total tackle.
