The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting receiver help after a slew of injuries rained down on the room in recent weeks.

The Jaguars made the deal official later, pending a physical.
The deal comes just after Jacksonville faced off against Meyers in the team's 30-29 overtime win on Sunday. The Jaguars made the move just ahead of the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline (4 p.m. ET).
Meyers, 28, has played seven seasons in the NFL, including the last three with the Raiders. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State by the New England Patriots following the 2019 NFL Draft.

In his career, Meyers has caught 426 passes for 4,944 yards and 20 touchdowns. This season, he has 33 catches for 352 yards.
Ahead of Sunday's game, the Jaguars placed rookie receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter on injured reserve due to a knee injury. During the game, both Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown exited the contest due to injuries.
Veteran receiver Tim Patrick was ruled out for Sunday's game due to a groin injury.
At one point, the Jaguars were down to just three receivers, including Austin Trammell , Tim Jones and Parker Washington . Jones and Trammell were on the team's practice squad days before the game. Trammell was signed to the active roster, while Jones was elevated for the contest.

Meyers will only help the group continue to grow as they get healthy. He becomes the second player Jacksonville has acquired just after playing against his previous club. The first was defensive lineman Khalen Saunders from the Saints after the teams met during the preseason.
Jakobi Meyers is in final year of three-year deal
Meyers signed a three-year, $33 million deal with Vegas ahead of the 2023 season. He is in the final year of his deal now, and his contract is set to void five days after the Super Bowl, just ahead of free agency.
If he departs Jacksonville in free agency, the team could be eligible to receive a compensatory draft selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.
