Jacksonville Jaguars add pair of former Alabama players to active roster for Sunday

Two former Alabama players will be on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ active roster for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. The Jaguars signed punter J.K. Scott and offensive lineman D.J. Fluker this week.

Scott was signed by Jacksonville to the active roster after the Jaguars placed punter Logan Cooke on injured reserve. A former fifth-round pick by Green Bay in 2018, Scott has not yet played in an NFL game during the 2021 regular season.

Fluker was signed to the practice squad this past week and elevated to the active roster on Saturday as a COVID-19 replacement. A first-round pick by the San Diego Chargers in 2013, Fluker has bounced around the league over the last few years. In 2021, he spent time with the Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders before signing with Jacksonville. Fluker made 8 starts for the Baltimore Ravens last season.

Jacksonville at New England is set for 1 p.m. ET.

So the Jags will debut both J.K. Scott and D.J. Fluker tomorrow. Scott was signed yesterday after Jacksonville’s incumbent punter went on IR.
