Lands on practice squad COVID list

Hammond (undisclosed) was placed on the Jaguars' practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Leads team in receiving

Hammond caught six of seven targets for 55 yards during Saturday's preseason loss to the Browns.

Analysis: Hammond led Jacksonville in both catches and receiving yards while playing only 21 offensive snaps, but his 7.9 yards per target isn't much to get excited about. The 23-year-old played in the second half when C.J. Beathard and Jake Luton were at quarterback, and at this point the wideout is likely competing for a spot on the practice squad.
