Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Punt returner Chad Owens, a former University of Hawai'i standout, was waived Friday by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who replaced him on the roster by signing running back Rich Alexis from the practice squad.Owens, also a receiver, played in four games and returned nine punts for 56 yards, a 6.2-yard average. Coach Jack Del Rio called him "indecisive" after he returned two punts for 5 yards against Houston two weeks ago.
Alexis played in three games last season and had spent this year on the practice squad. He provides depth with fullback Derrick Wimbush sidelined by an ankle injury.
