Rashean Mathis could return in June

Rashean Mathis is one of the Jaguars’ long tenured players, but he’s 32 in August and tore his ACL last season. However, the Jaguars still resigned him to a one year deal with minimal risk this offseason, even though he was not yet 100% back from that injury. Until now it had been unclear when he would be 100%, but Head Coach Mike Mularkey believes he could be 100% for mandatory minicamp in June.

Mathis will need a good training camp to stay on the roster. The Jaguars will have to pay him a million dollars if he’s on the active roster week 1 and if he can’t beat out one of Derek Cox, William Middleton, Aaron Ross, and Ashton Youbouty for a spot in dime packages, he could be too cost prohibitive for the Jaguars as a 5th cornerback.
