The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up for their first playoff match as they prepare to face the Buffalo Bills this Sunday at 1 p.m. in EverBank Stadium. Ahead of the crucial game, the team has made a significant roster move by promoting veteran wide receiver Tim Jones from the practice squad to the active roster.
Jones brings valuable experience and talent to the roster, highlighted by his past performances, including a key contribution during the Jaguars’ Week 9 overtime victory against the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only has he proven himself as a reliable receiver, but he also has experience on special teams, making him a versatile asset as they approach the playoff challenge against the Bills.
Having been elevated from the practice squad on two prior occasions this season, Jones has worked hard to reestablish himself with the team after beginning the season with the Minnesota Vikings. Since signing with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2021, he played four seasons with the team, appearing in 55 games and recording notable statistics, including 18 receptions for 169 yards and contributions on special teams, including tackles and a fumble recovery.
Head coach Liam Coen emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong mindset as the Jaguars enter the playoffs. The team’s focus remains on winning, one game at a time, stressing the need for performance under pressure. Coen expressed confidence in the team, especially with several players having past playoff experience, which will be crucial in navigating the intensity of playoff football.
As the Jaguars prepare to take the field in a high-stakes environment, the addition of Tim Jones will undoubtedly play a role in energizing the roster and creating opportunities in this inaugural playoff game. The team looks forward to showcasing their talents and competing fiercely in the postseason.
