The Jaguars cut him a few weeks ago with an injury designation back in August and he later reverted to the injured reserve list. and elected to waive him with an injury settlement on Wednesday.
Jacksonville elected to cut him from I.R. with an injury settlement the week before the start of the season.
In 2015, Gray appeared in eight games and ran for 176 yards on 45 carries (3.9 YPC) to go along with seven receptions for 76 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
