Jaguars sign CB Nickerson to take Ramsey's roster spot

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed cornerback Parry Nickerson on Thursday, filling the roster spot left open with the trade of Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams. The New York Jets selected Nickerson, a Tulane product, in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He played in all 16 games last season, starting two, and made 21 tackles.

The Jets traded Nickerson, 25, to the Seattle Seahawks, who put him on their practice squad. He joins a cornerback group that includes A.J. Bouye, D.J. Hayden and Tre Herndon.
