Nevertheless, the Jaguars desperately needed to sign another defensive tackle onto their roster. Just recently, defensive tackle Al Woods opted out of playing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Woods was supposed to replace veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell after he got traded to the Baltimore Ravens; however, that is not the case anymore.

The Jaguars have also placed defensive tackle Brian Price and second-year defensive tackle Dontavius Russell on the team’s reserved/injured list, so they're currently shorthanded at that position.

When Reid signing is official, the Jaguars' roster will be at 81 players. However, they'll need to cut their roster to 80 players prior to the agreed-upon deadline of Aug. 16 that the NFL settled for how the league will handle the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Jaguars first regular-season game is scheduled to be on Sept. 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. They'll be seeking to make the playoffs for the first time in three years.
