Corey Grant: Let go by Green Bay
Grant was waived by the Packers on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Grant had just signed July 26, but he was sent packing just two weeks later. The 27-year-old played just five games with the Jaguars last season, rushing for 40 yards on 13 attempts. Grant could be an attractive option for a team looking to bolster its running back depth, considering he's averaged 5.6 yards per carry during his career and has experience returning punts and kickoffs.

Packers' Corey Grant: Joining Green Bay
Grant (foot) is signing with the Packers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Grant suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury in October, finishing the year with 13 carries for 40 yards and nine catches for 67 yards in five games for the Jaguars. He owns a career average of 5.6 yards on 81 carries, though the number has been boosted by a couple long runs on fake punts. Grant found a favorable landing spot in Green Bay, where there are only four other halfbacks on the roster to start training camp. His experience covering punts and returning kickoffs could come in handy if he's healthy enough to make a serious bid for a roster spot.

Corey Grant: Still hasn't signed
Grant (foot) remains unsigned, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official website reports.
Grant suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 of the 2018 season and was placed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. It's unclear if his continued status as a free agent is due to a lengthy recovery process or simply a lack of interest from teams. The 27-year-old averaged 5.6 yards on 81 carries in four seasons with the Jaguars, but 25.1 percent of his rushing yards came from two long gains on fake punts. Grant will need to battle for a 53-man roster spot if he eventually signs with a team.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Ruled out for season
Grant (foot) will be placed on injured reserve and won't have a chance to return this season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Grant suffered a Lisfranc injury during Sunday's 30-14 loss to Kansas City, leaving T.J. Yeldon to dominate playing time in the backfield. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) seemingly in line for at least one more absence, the Jaguars are left with little-known Brandon Wilds as the only healthy running back behind Yeldon. The 26-year-old Grant wraps up his fourth NFL season with just 40 yards on 13 carries (3.1 average) and 67 yards on nine receptions.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Season in jeopardy
Grant is believed to have suffered a Lisfranc injury that will end his season, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
If Grant is ultimately forced to miss the rest of the season, the Jaguars will find themselves very thin at running back. Normal starter Leonard Fournette (hamstring) seems to be headed for at least one more absence, and with Grant now out of the picture, an enormous workload could be placed on T.J. Yeldon going forward. Brandon Wilds is the only other healthy running back on the Jaguars' roster, so it would not be surprising to see them sign some help in the coming days.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Ruled out for rest of Sunday's tilt
Grant (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Kansas City, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Grant left Sunday's contest to receive further medical attention on his injured foot. With concerns worsening the injury, the Jaguars are going to take a more cautious approach with Grant. Brandon Wilds figures to slide into the primary backup role behind T.J. Yeldon, as Jacksonville is now down to just two healthy running backs for the rest of Sunday's game.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Injures foot, questionable to return
Grant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a foot injury, Tad Dickman of the Jaguars Public Relations Staff reports.
Grant witnessed an uptake in usage entering Sunday's contest with starting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) unable to play. Even if Grant returns to the contest, he's unlikely to challenge T.J. Yeldon for the lead back role.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Primed for expanded role
Grant should have a significant role in the Jacksonville offense with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Grant has been limited to 99 yards on 21 touches through the first four weeks of the season, including 10 carries and seven catches while Fournette was sidelined for Weeks 2 and 3. T.J. Yeldon likely will get the start at running back in Week 5 and handle most of the playing time, but it's possible there will be enough production to go around against a Kansas City defense that has surrendered six touchdowns and 201.5 scrimmage yards per game to running backs through four weeks.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Could see role expand with Fournette re-injured
Grant gained five yards on his lone carry and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 31-12 win over the Jets.
Grant got just three touches in this one with Leonard Fournette making his return from a hamstring injury. Fournette aggravated that injury, however, which could mean a return into the offensive game plan for Grant in Week 5 against a Chiefs defense that's given up more than its fair share of big plays this year.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Quiet in Week 3 loss
Grant rushed six times for 11 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 9-6 loss to Tennessee.
Grant got one fewer carry than T.J. Yeldon, but Yeldon outgained him 44-11 on the ground. Both running backs should stay involved against the Jets next week if Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is unavailable again.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Opportunity knocks with Fournette out
With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) inactive, Grant figures to see added opportunities in the Jaguars offense Sunday against the Titans.
T.J. Yeldon is slated to play through his ankle issue and figures to head the team's rushing attack, but Grant should see his share of touches in Week 3, after rushing four times for 13 yards and catching six of his seven targets for 56 yards in last Sunday's win over the Patriots. He's thus an option in PPR formats and for those scrambling for running back help this weekend.

Jaguars' Corey Grant: Active in passing game
Grant rushed four times for 13 yards and caught six of seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots.
Grant was much more involved compared to the season opener, though T.J. Yeldon still carried a slight edge in touches (14 to 12) and yardage (71 to 69). Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was inactive after not practicing through the week, although he was a game-time decision. Grant's increased workload is encouraging, but Yeldon should remains Jacksonville's No. 2 running back for the time being.
