Jacksonville Jaguars safety Brian Williams

Several items of interest involving the Jacksonville Jaguars, courtesy of Michael C. Wright of the South Florida Times-Union:

  • It appears that the switch from cornerback to safety may be a permanent move for Brian Williams – that is if the indication from the depth chart that the Jags released for Saturday’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.  The team has Williams listed as the starter at strong safety, opposite Reggie Nelson, who is at free safety.
  • Head coach Jack Del Rio praised defensive end Quentin Groves for his play in Friday’s scrimmage, stating that the team’s offense could not do anything on the left side because of Groves’ presence; Del Rio’s complimentary words could be assumed to be a subtle push towards getting rookie holdout Derrick Harvey into camp.
  • Tight end Isaac Smolko, signed by the Jags on Monday, will wear #47; he replaces Anthony Cotrone on the roster.  Cotrone was placed on the waived/injured list after tearing his left ACL in Friday’s scrimmage; if Cotrone clears waivers, he will be placed on the team’s injured reserve list.
