Former Bears quarterback Matt Glennon cut by Jaguars, losing backup position to 6th-round pick Jake Luton

The Jacksonville Jaguars are going with another college journeyman and sixth-round draft pick as their backup quarterback.

General manager Dave Caldwell and coach Doug Marrone kept rookie Jake Luton to play behind Gardner Minshew as they finalized their 53-man roster Saturday. They cut veteran Mike Glennon and waived Josh Dobbs.

Luton was one of the biggest surprises of Jacksonville’s training camp, along with undrafted running back James Robinson, sixth-round receiver Collin Johnson and undrafted cornerback Luq Barcoo.

They are four of 16 rookies who made Jacksonville’s opening-day roster. Throw in eight second-year pros and Marrone will have one of the youngest teams — if not the youngest team — in the league in 2020.
