Former Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager signed to the New York Jets practice squad to start the season. Now, the Jets are designating Cager as one of four players who they’re protecting on their practice squad.
Cager played one season for the Georgia Bulldogs after transferring from Miami. Cager was plagued with injuries during his collegiate career and endured multiple ankle injuries in 2019 with Georgia.
Despite the injuries, Cager helped the Bulldogs make their third straight SEC Championship Game. He was second on the team in receptions (33) and receiving yards (476). Cager also caught four touchdowns for the Dawgs and won countless jump balls.
