Jaguars Sign Levi Wallace, Release Rookie Cornerback

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed veteran cornerback Levi Wallace to strengthen their secondary, particularly after Montaric Brown suffered a leg injury that will sideline him for the rest of training camp and possibly into the regular season. Wallace, who played 13 games with the Denver Broncos last year, brings eight seasons of NFL experience from previous stints with the Bills and Steelers. To make room for Wallace on the roster, the Jaguars released rookie cornerback Aydan White. Jarrian Jones currently leads the competition to start opposite Tyson Campbell, and Wallace's arrival may also affect rookie Travis Hunter's chances of earning a starting role. The signing reflects the Jaguars' strategy of addressing immediate roster needs by adding veterans after the draft. Wallace's experience is expected to provide stability and depth to the evolving cornerback group.
