JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars coach Doug Pederson's son is the team's newest tight end.
The Jaguars signed Josh Pederson on Monday, bringing him aboard nearly a month after he finished the USFL season with the Houston Gamblers. Pederson caught 24 passes for 325 yards in 10 games. The Gamblers terminated his contract last week so he could sign with a then-unnamed NFL team.
He replaces undrafted rookie Leonard Taylor, who was waived with an injury designation.
