The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed rookie running back Taj McGowan. To make room on the roster, the Jaguars waived rookie defensive lineman Khairi Clark.

McGowan participated in rookie mini camps with Jacksonville in early May.

The signing comes after a report from Daniel Popper of The Athletic that rookie running back Ryquell Armstead suffered a leg injury. His injury status has not been disclosed by the team.
