ACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars released three players Friday, including veteran place-kicker Steve Christie.
The Jaguars signed Christie last week in an effort to stabilize their kicking situation. Rookie Josh Scobee had missed three of four field goal attempts in the first two preseason games.
But Christie never got a chance to kick in either of the Jaguars' final two preseason games. Scobee made three field goals in a 9-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 27. He made a 31-yarder against the New England Patriots and had a 51-yarder nullified by a holding call in the Jaguars' 31-0 win Thursday.
Also released were linebackers Jimmy McClain and Kenny Jackson.
Jacksonville still must cut 12 players to get to the 53-man roster limit before Sunday's deadline
A shame for Christie who was very dependable for Buffalo and from what I hear a very nice guy.
