    Traore (undisclosed) was restored to the Jaguars' practice squad from the unit's injured list Monday.

    Traore injured his knee while in training camp with the Bears before being waived, but it is not known if the same issue was the cause of his placement on the practice squad IR. Traore spent all of 2020 on the Bears' practice squad and still has not appeared in an NFL game. He'll try to change that with Jacksonville before the 2021 season ends.
