The Jacksonville Jaguars have promoted second-year linebacker Deon King to the active roster. To make room on the roster, the Jaguars waived rookie wide receiver Montay Crockett.

He attended Norfolk State University and led all Division I players with 163 total tackles in 2015.

King will wear No. 58 for the Jaguars.
