The Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed safety Josh Jones off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Jones was released by the Cowboys on Saturday. He will not officially be assigned to the Jaguars' roster until the conclusion of the playoffs.

The 25-year-old, who played his collegiate football at North Carolina State, was originally selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round (61st pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He played in all 16 games and made seven starts during his rookie campaign, finishing with 67 tackles, a couple of sacks, an interception and five passes defended.

The following year, Jones made 13 appearances and started five contests, totaling 55 tackles and a sack in what was a disappointing sophomore campaign.

As a result, the Packers revamped their secondary last offseason, signing safety Adrian Amos in free agency and then selecting fellow safety Darnell Savage in the draft.

With Green Bay adding a couple of safeties, the writing was on the wall for Jones, and not long after, Jones asked the Packers for a trade.

Green Bay did not immediately meet his request, but in late August, the Packers waived him with a non-football illness designation.

Dallas eventually signed Jones to its practice squad in early October. He would proceed to play six games for the Cowboys, with all of his playing time coming on special teams. He logged just one tackle.

The Jaguars went 6-10 this season, and after two years without a playoff appearance, Doug Marrone's job as head coach appears to be hanging in the balance.
