JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Canadian Nathan Rourke will begin his NFL career on the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice roster.
The Jaguars waived Rourke on Monday despite the six-foot-two, 209-pound Rourke having a stellar pre-season with the club, completing 23-of-35 passes for 348 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in three appearances. On Saturday in the club's final exhibition game against the Miami Dolphins, Rourke entered the game in the third quarter and engineered a 10-play, 88-yard TD march.
Despite Rourke's impressive play with Jacksonville, head coach Doug Pederson said there was no battle for the backup job. Pederson added veteran C.J. Beathard was the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Trevor Lawrence. Rourke served as veteran Michael Reilly's backup as a rookie but received plenty of first-team practice reps as Reilly nursed a season-long elbow ailment. Rourke started two games as a rookie before taking the CFL by storm in 2022.
