Jacksonville placed Gunter on the non-football injury list last week. 

Gunter, 28, was a fourth-round pick by the Cardinals out of Delaware State in 2015. He signed a four-year deal through the 2018 season before returning to the Cardinals last March on a one-year deal.

Gunter was placed on season-ending injured reserve back in December. He later signed a three-year deal with the Jaguars back in March. 

In 2019, Gunter appeared in 13 games for the Cardinals and recorded 31 tackles and three sacks.
