Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Jaguars are expected to sign QB Landry Jones to a contract on Wednesday as insurance due to some concern about QB Blake Bortles’ health following last Sunday’s game in London.
Jones, 28, is a former fourth-round pick by the Steelers in the 2013 NFL Draft. He finished out the final year of his four-year rookie contract and returned to Pittsburgh on a two-year contract last offseason.
However, the Steelers elected to release Jones coming out of the preseason and they trimmed their roster down to 53 players.
In 2017, Jones appeared in three games for the Steelers and recorded 23 completions on 28 attempts (82.1 percent) for 239 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception.
