JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed K Kai Forbath, the club announced today. To make room on the roster, the club placed rookie LB Leon Jacobs (quadricep) on the team’s reserve/injured list.
The move was made due to starting kicker Josh Lambo dealing with a groin strain this week. Lambo was listed as limited in practice on Thursday's injury report.
