The Broncos waived Junior (hamstring) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Denver waived Junior with an injury designation after he suffered a hamstring injury during a training camp practice a little more than a week ago, and he subsequently reverted to injured reserve. This time, he's in line to become a free agent if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

Jaguars' Gregory Junior: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Jaguars signed Junior off the team's practice squad Monday.
Junior was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by Jacksonville, but he has spent the entirety of the season on the practice squad after being waived as part of the team's final roster cuts in late August. In a corresponding move Monday, the Jaguars also released safety Tyree Gillespie, who did not record a statistic while exclusively playing on special teams over three appearances this season. Expect junior to add depth to this secondary over the final three weeks of the regular season.
