Joins Jacksonville's practice squad The Jaguars signed Pleasants (undisclosed) to their practice squad and then placed him on the injured list Friday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

The 24-year-old injured his knee during a training camp practice with the Bears, but he wasn't listed on the injury report when he was released. The Jaguars recently placed A.J. Cann (knee) on IR, so they may be looking to add some offensive line depth to their active roster.
