Jags put CB Blackmon on IR
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jacksonville, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars placed cornerback Will Blackmon on injured reserve Monday due to a fractured left index finger.
Blackmon suffered the injury during Jacksonville's Week 8 loss to Miami and sat out Sunday's 33-23 setback at Cincinnati as a result.
The journeyman defensive back had played in the Jaguars' first eight games and made four starts, recording 30 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Linebacker Khairi Fortt was signed off the Bengals' practice squad to fill the available roster spot.
Fortt was a fourth-round pick of New Orleans in this year's draft who began the season on injured reserve/designated to return. He was waived by the Saints on Oct. 6 and claimed by the Bengals one day later.
