The Jacksonville Jaguars have decided to place cornerback Tyson Campbell on injured reserve according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
A hamstring injury sidelined Campbell in Week 1 and, while teams regularly keep players dealing with this type of injury on their active rosters, the issues often linger. The Jags will give Campbell at least four weeks to heal. He cannot return until Week 6.
Campbell commanded a four-year, $76 million extension this summer, one that featured the Jags already handing out the two most lucrative deals in franchise history — to Trevor Lawrence and Josh Hines-Allen. Campbell’s contract included $31.million guaranteed at signing, but the deal’s structure calls for $27.7million more (via an option bonus and a 2026 base salary guarantee) to be paid by March 2025. The Jags certainly have plenty of confidence in Campbell, a third-round pick in 2021.
