JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived veteran linebacker Keith Mitchell, who had been inactive for five of the team's last six games.

Mitchell, 29, was taken off the field on a stretcher during a game against Buffalo on Sept. 14. In that contest, he temporarily lost feeling and movement in his arms and legs. Mitchell returned and played in two games, serving as a backup to strongside linebacker Danny Clark.

The 2000 Pro Bowler while with the New Orleans Saints, Mitchell signed with the Jaguars last March. He played last season with the Houston Texans.

The Jaguars promoted safety Ray Perryman from the practice squad to replace Mitchell on the roster.
