Jacksonville coach Marrone should be used to injuries by now

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone has endured a three-year run of daunting setbacks, a list that includes losing four left tackles, four tight ends and a starting receiver — most of them early — in 2018, and then losing his starting quarterback during the opening series last season. Now, the Jaguars are without five defensive linemen before they even put on pads in training camp. Rodney Gunter, signed in free agency to replace five-time Pro Bowler Calais Campbell, became the latest and most significant missing defender.

Jacksonville placed Gunter on the reserve/retired list Monday, one day after he was forced to walk away from football because of an enlarged aorta. The team signed defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan to help fill the void.

Marrone offered Gunter a position on his staff once “this very tough period calms down.” Gunter signed a threeyear, $18 million contract in free agency after spending his first five years in the league with Arizona.

Marrone also said tight end Josh Oliver broke a bone in his foot while running a day earlier and will have surgery.

LIONS: Signed RB Jonathan Williams, adding depth in the backfield behind Kerryon Johnson and rookie D’Andre Swift. Detroit released RB Wes Hills to clear a spot on the roster. Williams has 329 yards rushing on 79 carries with two touchdowns over parts of three seasons with the Colts, Saints and Bills.

BENGALS: CB Trae Waynes had surgery for a torn pectoral muscle, a setback to a defense in transition. The Bengals signed Waynes to a three-year deal as a free agent. He was expected to start along with William Jackson III, but now has a long recovery ahead. The Bengals released former first-round pick Dre Kirkpatrick after a 2-14 season and reconfigured their secondary.

GIANTS: Released placekicker Chandler Catanzaro, 16 days after hiring him following the release of Aldrick Rosas. New York is in talks with Graham Gano as a possible replacement.
