Jaguars signed WR Williamson back after Holt’s departure

Wide receiver Troy Williamson wore back the Jacksonville Jaguars jersey Tuesday, not long after he was released by the team last month. Thanks to Torry Holt, who was released later than Williamson and left a hole to the Jaguars’ offensive line.

Williamson was formerly a first-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings and was traded to the Jaguars after spending 3 three seasons in Minnesota. If not being signed back by the Jaguars, he would have become a restricted free agent on Friday.

Earning the starting job last year, Williamson however did not keep that job for long and lost it to Holt after sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 2. Having 87 receptions for 1,131 yards and four touchdowns in his five-year career, Williamson will be given a chance to compete for the starting job again with Mike Walker.
