NFL Hall of Fame Game 2022: Raiders rout Jaguars in preseason opener

Signs futures deal Cottrell signed a reserve/future contract with the Jaguars on Monday.

Impact Cottrell operated on the Jaguars' practice squad for the majority of the year, but he appeared in each of the final four games of the regular season. He played almost exclusively on special teams, save for one offensive snap in Week 16.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated again Cottrell was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad Saturday.

Impact Cottrell has been active for each of Jacksonville's last three games, though he's tallied only one carry in that span. He's likely to see the majority of his playing time on special teams once again Sunday against the Colts.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Cottrell reverted to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday.

Impact Cottrell played 17 snaps on special teams. He made one tackle while covering a kick.

JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 17 Cottrell was promoted to the Jaguars' active roster from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Cottrell will join the active roster for the second straight game to provide depth at running back. He'll likely see most of his action on special teams with Dare Ogunbowale, Ryquell Armstead and Mekhi Sargent already on the 53-man roster.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Cottrell reverted to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Cottrell was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Jets and ended up as the No. 2 tailback after starter James Robinson suffered a torn Achilles during the first quarter, but he ended up playing only one offensive snap and had one carry for three yards. Dare Ogunbowale dominated the backfield work, and Jacksonville also claimed Mekhi Sargent on waivers Monday. Cottrell is unlikely to be much of a factor for the final two games of the season with Ogunbowale, Sargent and Ryquell Armstead already on the 53-man roster.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Added to active roster The Jaguars have elevated Cottrell to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with with the Jets.

Impact Cottrell has bounced back-and-forth between practice squad and active roster all season. He will presumably contribute on special teams as well as provide depth at running back behind James Robinson, Dare Ogunbowale and Ryquell Armstead.

DECEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Cottrell reverted to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Cottrell found his way onto the field for the first time in 2021, logging seven snaps on special teams. He finished with 123 kick return yards over eight games in 2020 but has yet to return a kick so far this year.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Cottrell was elevated to the Jaguars' active roster Saturday.

Impact Cottrell will provide depth to a Jaguars backfield that will miss Carlos Hyde (concussion). An undrafted free agent back in 2020, Cottrell played in eight games with the team last season, but he was almost exclusively used on special teams.

Roster Moves: Jaguars elevate RB Nathan Cottrell The Jacksonville Jaguars have elevated running back Nathan Cottrell from the practice squad.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • JAGUARS.COM

Rejoins practice squad Cottrell signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Cottrell spent several days on Jacksonville's practice squad in early September but was cut prior to the season opener. He played almost exclusively on special teams across eight appearances with the Jaguars last year.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in Jacksonville Cottrell was signed to the Jaguars' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Cottrell was cut ahead of Tuesday's roster deadline but will remain a part of Jacksonville's organization. The 25-year-old appeared in eight games for the Jaguars in 2020 but almost exclusively played special teams.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Jacksonville The Jaguars waived Cottrell on Tuesday.

Impact Cottrell appeared in eight games for the Jaguars as a rookie, but with the addition of Carlos Hyde, he finds himself off the depth chart. Jacksonville is electing to keep three running backs on its initial 53-man roster, so it may decide to retain Cottrell on the practice squad as insurance if he clears waivers.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Week 17 Cottrell (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact The 24-year-old was considered questionable with the hip injury but is good to go for the season finale. Cottrell should handle kick return duties and serve as a reserve tailback behind Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo on Sunday.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Sunday Cottrell (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Cottrell logged a trio of limited practices this week, putting his Week 17 status into question. Even with James Robinson (ankle) out last week, Cottrell didn't play a snap on offense, so his potential absence in the season finale only hurts the team's depth behind Dare Ogunbowale and Devine Ozigbo.

JANUARY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Cottrell was promoted to the Jaguars' active roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The 24-year-old was elevated as an extra player from the practice squad for Sunday's loss to the Steelers, and he's now earned a longer look on the active roster. Cottrell exclusively played special teams during the contest and figures to have a similar role going forward for Jacksonville.

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to practice squad Cottrell reverted back to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Cottrell was active on special teams in Week 11, playing on 25 snaps and recording a tackle on punt coverage. He's logged 44 special teams snaps in two contests this season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted from practice squad Cottrell was promoted to Jacksonville's active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact The 24-year-old is being elevated as an extra player and provides backfield depth for the Jaguars. Cottrell appeared in one game earlier this season and played one snap on offense and 19 snaps on special teams.

NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off COVID-19 list The Jaguars activated Cottrell off the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday.

Impact Cottrell is one of 11 players cleared to return from the COVID-19 list for Jacksonville on Thursday. He'll be eligible to immediately resume participating in practice squad activities.

OCTOBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to COVID list The Jaguars placed Cottrell on the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday.

Impact Cottrell is one of 12 players on the Jaguars' practice squad to get placed on this list. The running back either contracted the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. He'll need to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities.

OCTOBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to practice squad Cottrell reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad.

Impact Cottrell was activated for the team's season opener against the Colts, and he played mainly on special teams but logged one offensive snap. The undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech will look to develop further on the Jaguars' practice roster.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Plays one snap in debut Cottrell played one offensive snap during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

Impact The rookie UDFA was active for the season opener and played 19 snaps on special teams. Cottrell is unlikely to be a factor in Jacksonville's offense under the current circumstances, but he may continue to suit up while Ryquell Armstead (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Devine Ozigbo (hamstring) are sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Added to active roster Cottrell was promoted to the Jaguars' active roster Saturday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cottrell was signed to the team as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 draft and has bounced between the roster and practice squad since. Given the rash of injuries in Jacksonville's backfield, Cottrell could suit up in Week 1 against Indianapolis.
