The Jacksonville Jaguars placed cornerback Will Blackmon on injured reserve Monday and signed linebacker Khairi Fortt off the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad.

Blackmon suffered a broken finger in a loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 and did not play Sunday in the Jaguars’ loss to the Bengals.

Blackmon, 30, started four games for the Jaguars this season and finished with 30 tackles, a forced fumble and a sack.

Fortt will help a position where the Jaguars are without Paul Posluszny for the season and lost Jeremiah George to a high ankle sprain against Cincinnati.

Fortt, a fourth-round pick of the New Orleans Saints this year, started the season on short-term injured reserve. The Saints waived him Oct. 6 and the Bengals added him the next day and then put him on the practice squad.

The Jaguars play the Dallas Cowboys in London this week.
