Mekhi Sargent News
The Jacksonville Jaguars waived running back Mekhi Sargent on Monday. The Jaguars recently signed Sargent to a futures deal in January, but now he'll head to waivers. The 25-year-old former undrafted free agent did not play in an NFL game last year after spending time with the Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Rams in 2021. In seven games that year, he saw only five carries for 11 yards. Sargent was buried on the running back depth chart in Jacksonville behind Travis Etienne Jr., JaMycal Hasty, D'Ernest Johnson, Snooper Conner and Qadree Ollison. He'll now look for another opportunity with another team heading into the 2023 campaign.
The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed running back Mekhi Sargent and linebacker Jamir Jones off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. The Jaguars need more running back depth after James Robison tore his Achilles in Week 16. Dare Ogunbowale is the favorite to take over lead-back duties for the final two games of the regular season, but Sargent could join the active roster at some point. Behind Ogunbowale, the Jags also have Ryquell Armstead and Nathan Cottrell on their active roster. Sargent has played four offensive snaps in six games with the Tennessee Titans and Rams this year, seeing a combined four carries for nine yards.
The Los Angeles Rams signed running back Mekhi Sargent to their active roster on Wednesday. Sargent was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and saw two carries for five yards. Darrell Henderson Jr. (thigh) was officially active, but he didn't play a single offensive snap. The fact that the Rams have already added Sargent back to the active roster for Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night doesn't bode well for Henderson returning to the lead-back role. We'll keep a close eye on Henderson's practice status this week. Sony Michel filled in nicely against the Jags, carrying the rock 24 times for a season-high 121 yards and a touchdown and adding three catches for eight yards. Michel would once again be in RB2 consideration if Henderson is out or relegated to backup duties.
