Marqise Lee is back.
After missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL, the Jaguars wide receiver was activated from the physically unable to perform list Saturday and participated in practice. His return comes just a week shy of the one-year anniversary of his knee injury.
It marks a potentially significant boost to a receiving corps that features Dede Westbrook, Keelan Cole, and D.J. Chark, among others.
Prior to his injury, Lee had established himself as a full-time starter for the Jags while catching 119 passes for 1,553 yards and six touchdowns over the 2016-17 seasons. The sixth-year wideout has battled injuries throughout his career in Jacksonville since being taken in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Here is other news we're monitoring Saturday:
- The Baltimore Ravens signed former AAF kicker Cameron Nizialek.
- The Raiders re-signed free agent guard/center Cameron Hunt. The third-year lineman has yet to make his NFL debut but is beginning his third stint with Oakland. The team waived wide receiver Jordan Lasley in a corresponding move.
- The New York Jets, a day after losing starting linebacker Avery Williamson to an ACL injury, are signing veteran linebacker Albert McClellan, Rapoport reported. McClellan played his first seven seasons with the Ravens, splitting time with Baltimore and New England in 2018.
- The Washington Redskins are signing undrafted rookie linebacker Gary Johnson, Rapoport reported.
- Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Williams (chest) was injured in Saturday's game and did not return.
- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ishmael Hyman left Saturday's game with a concussion.
- Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu left Saturday's preseason game in the first quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Chiefs added the injury was not believed to be serious.
Tight end Deon Yelder is questionable to return with an ankle injury.
- Houston Texans offensive lineman and first-round pick Tytus Howard left the field early Saturday and was seen walking off the field with trainers.
