Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 12 (UPI) -- One day after he was released by the Cleveland Browns, receiver Kevin Johnson was claimed off waivers Wednesday by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"We saw this as another opportunity to upgrade our roster," Jaguars Coach Jack Del Rio said. "Kevin is an experienced and talented player and we think he's a good fit here."
The Browns' leading receiver since being selected in the second round of the 1999 draft, Johnson lost his starting job last week after coach Butch Davis became disenchanted with his performance.
Johnson was on the field for only a handful of plays in Sunday's 41-20 loss at Kansas City, catching one pass for three yards.
In Jacksonville, Johnson joins a receiving corps that includes Jimmy Smith and Troy Edwards.
