Cephus (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Jaguars on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cephus suffered an undisclosed injury during training camp with Jacksonville, which is now set to sideline him for the 2025 campaign. He'd be eligible to sign elsewhere and play this season if he were to reach an injury settlement with the Jaguars; otherwise, he'll shift his focus to 2026.

Jaguars' Joshua Cephus: Signs futures deal with Jags
Rotowire
Jacksonville signed Cephus to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
In his only appearance in the 2024 regular season, Cephus played just six offensive snaps and did not draw a target. However, rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas was the only Jaguars wide receiver to log more than 400 receiving yards during the most recent campaign, so the room may have some openings heading into the 2025 league year.

Joshua Cephus: Slated to head to Jacksonville
Rotowire
Cephus is in line to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Cephus, who spent five years with UTSA, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he recorded a school-record 1,151 receiving yards with 10 touchdowns on 89 catches in 13 games en route to earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors, per Greg Luca of the San Antonio Express-News. With Jacksonville, the 6-foot-2, 189-pounder has plenty of competition for a roster spot, but Cephus could potentially land a depth role or practice squad slot with a strong training camp/offseason.
