The team made the move official on Tuesday morning. Additionally, the Jaguars announced that they've signed running back Cody Schrader , who was most recently on the Los Angeles Rams practice squad. Schrader was elevated to the active roster and played for LA in Week 1.
According to ESPN's Mike DiRocco , the fifth-round pick Jacksonville acquired from the Eagles was originally traded to Philadelphia by the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for Bryce Huff in June. That pick will become a fourth-round selection if Huff has eight sacks in 2025. If that happens, the Eagles will send the fourth-round selection instead of the fifth-round pick.
NOW WHAT? How Tanks Bigsby trade impacts team moving forward
Bigsby was originally drafted by the Jaguars in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Bigsby was slated to operate as one of the four backs in rotation before the trade. The Jaguars had all four backs, including Bigsby, Travis Etienne , Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen, active in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers .

Bigsby carried the ball just five times for 12 yards. He was one of four backs to receive carries. Here are the other stats from Jacksonville's backfield:
-
Etienne: 16 carries, 143 yards
-
Tuten: 3 for 11
-
Allen: 1 for 7
Jacksonville's success on the ground against Carolina likely dictated the team's want to deal Bigsby. The Jaguars rushed for 200 net yards on Sunday, carried primarily by Etienne's 143-yard performance. The performance included a 71-yard scamper. Etienne is slated to command more attention in Jacksonville's backfield as a result of Bigsby's trade.
In addition, the team will likely utilize Tuten more, who was drafted by Jacksonville in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Allen, the team's seventh-round pick this year, operated as a pass-blocking back, routinely in for Jacksonville's third-down plays.
What are Tank Bigsby 's career stats?
