Jaguars elevate CB Tevaughn Campbell from practice squad for Week 7

The Jacksonville Jaguars added a reinforcement to their secondary Thursday by elevating Tevaughn Campbell from the practice squad.

On Wednesday, the Jaguars officially ruled out Tyson Campbell for their Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Jacksonville plans to start Montaric “Buster” Brown in his place.

Tevaughn Campbell, 30, was signed to the Jaguars’ active roster from the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad in October 2022 and appeared in five games with Jacksonville in the remainder of the year. The team was impressed enough with the midseason addition that it re-signed Campbell in March.

While he likely won’t see the field much Thursday night, the Jaguars needed the extra bodies in the secondary with Tyson Campbell out and both Gregory Junior and Christian Braswell on injured reserve.

Prior to his time on the Raiders’ practice squad, Tevaughn Campbell played two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in 30 games and making 11 starts.
