The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired wide receiver Tim Patrick from Detroit on Wednesday in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in 2026.
The Jaguars said the trade would become final if Patrick passes a physical. Jacksonville waived receiver Austin Trammell to make room for Patrick on its 53-man roster.
The 31-year-old Patrick missed all of 2022 and 2023 while dealing with injuries, first a torn knee ligament and then a torn Achilles tendon. But he bounced back last season and played 16 games for the Lions, finishing with 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns.
The 6-foot-5 veteran is expected to become Jacksonville’s number five receiver.
For the Lions… Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond are returning starters, with rookie draft picks Isaac TeSlaa and Dominic Lovett slotted as backups.
