Can Tyler Eifert get past his injury history to have a larger role in the Jacksonville Jaguars offense this coming season?
I had been banging the drum for the Jacksonville Jaguars to sign free agent tight end Tyler Eifert long before it actually happened. It made too much sense given the Jaguars’ need for help at the tight end position and Eifert’s relationship with the team’s new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden from their time together in Cincinnati.
