The Raiders cut McCourt from the practice squad Tuesday. McCourt was added to the Raiders' practice squad Oct. 24 as insurance for Daniel Carlson, who was dealing with a groin injury leading up to their Week 8 contest against the Lions on Monday night. Carlson was able to suit up for the game, and McCourt was a healthy scratch as a result.

The Raiders elevated McCourt from their practice squad prior to Monday's game against the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The decision to elevate McCourt would seem to hint that the Raiders may have some doubt about the availability of kicker Daniel Carlson (groin), who is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The Raiders will release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to that point, which will shed light on whether Carlson will suit up. If Carlson is sidelined for the Week 9 contest, McCourt would be on track to make his NFL debut. During his collegiate career at Illinois, McCourt converted 37 of 52 field-goal attempts (71.2 percent).

The Jaguars waived McCourt on Tuesday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports. McCourt signed a future/reserve deal with Jacksonville in January but couldn't beat out veteran Brandon McManus. The undrafted kicker out of Illinois spent his rookie season on the Jaguars' practice squad and could be looking at a similar role in Year 2.

The Jaguars signed McCourt to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. McCourt signed with the Jaguars' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster to begin the season. The undrafted kicker out of Illinois never made any appearances during his rookie campaign, but with his new contract, he'll be able to stick around the organization and compete for a larger role during the offseason.

The Jaguars waived McCourt on Wednesday. McCourt, an undrafted rookie out of Illinois, and Jake Verity (undisclosed) both made the team's initial 53-man roster, but both kickers were let go Wednesday to make room for a number of waiver claims, including former Lions kicker Riley Patterson. McCourt appeared in only one preseason game with Jacksonville and made both of his field-goal attempts, including a 54-yarder.
