The Jaguars placed wide receiver Justin Blackmon on the reserve/suspended list, leaving Cecil Shorts III, Mike Brown, Ace Sanders, Stephen Burton, Stephen Williams and Taylor as the active wide receivers.
With Blackmon out for the rest of the season, Bradley said Burton is a player with intriguing potential. The team acquired Burton off waivers from Minnesota shortly before the season, but he has been inactive the last five games, including four with a concussion.
“This young man has some potential,” Bradley said. “We’re going to try to speed it up and get him to where we can trust him, the quarterbacks can trust him and his teammates trust him. He’s done a better job. Maybe a situation like this will light a fuse for him where he sees this opportunity and now we’ll capture it. We’ll see."
