Week One of the 2019 NFL season, unfortunately, has already yielded a major injury to a quarterback many had high hopes for. And it appears as though one former Tennessee Volunteers star is being brought in to help mitigate the damage.

According to multiple reports, the Jacksonville Jaguars have traded with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Josh Dobbs, a fourth-round pick by the Steelers in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Jaguars will now acquire Dobbs in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Dobbs, a quarterback for the Vols from 2013 to 2016 and their full-time starter the final two years of his career, now joins the Jaguars in a time of crisis: During the course of Sunday's season-opening 40-26 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, prized free agent signing and former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles suffered a broken collarbone, which will sideline him indefinitely. Foles' injury came on a 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver D.J. Chark, where he was hit after he threw and landed on by Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones.

"It’s unfortunate but at the same time I’m going to stay positive and trust the good Lord in this time," said Foles following the game. "Sometimes things don’t happen like we expect them to, but we just have to have faith that it’s for a reason. I’m still grateful I get to be a part of this team. I’ll have surgery tomorrow to get this thing rolling and trust the good Lord for healing and be ready to roll when I am."

Rookie Gardner Minshew, a sixth-round pick by the Jaguars out of Washington State, took over for Foles and finished his NFL debut completing 22 of 25 passes (88 percent) for 275 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. It should be noted that, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Dobbs is being brought in to serve as Minshew's backup. Entering Week One, Foles and Minshew had been the only two quarterbacks Jacksonville carried on their active roster.

In two seasons as a member of the Steelers, Dobbs spent most of his time down the depth chart, serving as the QB3 behind Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones as a rookie before appearing in a total of five games during the 2018 season. Providing situational relief for Roethlisberger, Dobbs completed half of his passes (6 of 12) for 43 yards, throwing an interception in the process.

With Mason Rudolph becoming entrenched as Roethlisberger's backup for the 2019 season, Dobbs was once again in a position where he would serve further down the depth chart in Pittsburgh. During the preseason, Dobbs started two games and completed just over half his passes (18 of 33) for 280 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. He would also run the ball a total of nine times for 70 yards.
