Onwualu (knee) reverted to injured reserve after clearing waivers, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
Onwualu was waived/injured by Jacksonville on Friday, and he'll likely remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season unless the two sides agree to an injury settlement.
Onwualu (knee) was waived/injured by the Jaguars on Friday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
Onwualu has already been ruled out for the 2019 season with the knee injury. He will revert to the Jaguars' injured reverse once he clears waivers.
Onwualu was ruled out for the 2019 season Tuesday with a knee injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
Onwualu sustained the injury Monday during the special teams period and had to be carted off the field. The Jaguars are now looking extremely thin at the linebacker position, considering Jake Ryan (knee) and Quincy Williams (knee) are also dealing with ailments of their own, while Telvin Smith is taking a season off from football. Expect the team to move Onwualu to the injured reserve soon in order for him to stay on the roster.
Onwualu suffered a right leg injury at practice Monday and exited the field via a cart, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
Onwualu sustained the injury during a kickoff period, but the specifics of the issue remain unclear. An extended absence would diminish the 24-year-old's chances of cracking the 53-man roster as he is competing for a special-teams role.
