Jaguars promote receiver, cornerback

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed wide receiver Jeremy Ebert and cornerback Marcus Burley off the practice squad on Saturday.

The Jaguars released offensive guard Jacques McClendon and defensive end Chris McCoy.

Ebert was a seventh-round draft pick of New England in 2012 and spent time on the Patriots' practice squad. Burley was undrafted out of Delaware this year.

McClendon and McCoy had been picked up off waivers from other teams after final cuts this summer. Neither was active for the opener.
