Jaguars Sign Veteran Safety Juan Thornhill to Practice Squad

Overview

• The move was reported Monday by ESPN's Adam Schefter following Jacksonville's Week 11 win.
• Thornhill was recently waived by the Steelers after his defensive snaps dwindled, with Mike Tomlin citing performance concerns.
• A 2019 second-round pick of the Chiefs, he has appeared in 96 games with 75 starts, totaling 399 tackles, eight interceptions and 23 pass breakups.
• Pro Football Focus charts most of his work at free safety with additional snaps in the box and nickel.
• He provides immediate depth while Eric Murray is on injured reserve, and he is a candidate for game-day elevation in multi-safety packages.
