The Jaguars promoted King to their active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
King was on the Browns' active roster from Week 5 through Week 15 this season. He subsequently joined the Jaguars' practice squad after getting waived. His promotion Saturday indicates Blair Brown (ankle) may to be ready to go for Sunday's tilt against the Steelers, which would mean King could get some reps providing depth at weakside linebacker.

King was waived by the Browns on Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
King re-joined the Browns in mid-November after being waived a week earlier by the team. The 24-year-old has played in nine games and was primarily a special teams contributor, and could end up on Cleveland's practice squad if he clears waivers.

King signed a contract with the Browns on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
King spent four weeks with the Browns earlier in the season but logged just three snaps on defense compared to 75 on special teams. The Norfolk State product will likely continue in similar role during his second stint in Cleveland.

King was placed on waivers by the Browns on Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
King suited up for just four games this season, but he only played three defensive snaps. If he clears waivers, there's a good chance he lands on the Browns' practice squad.

King was signed to the Browns' active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
King's promotion comes after the team placed linebacker Dominique Alexander (knee) on injured reserve. King will serve as a depth option at linebacker while also potentially taking on Alexander's reps on special teams.

King signed a contract with the Browns on Monday, Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
King, who's entering his second season out of Norfolk State, won the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation's top FCS defensive player in 2015 and has spent time with the Cowboys, Chargers and Colts over the course of the past year. He joins a rather thin linebacker corps and looks to have an outside chance of making the team if he can carve out a niche on special teams.

King was released by the Colts on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
King was hoping to compete for a roster spot with the Colts during training camp, but he won't be given that opportunity after the club cut him loose to create more roster room for the several undrafted free agents that were signed over the weekend. The 23-year-old linebacker split time with the Colts and Chargers in 2016, amassing two tackles over six games as a rookie.

King has promoted to the Chargers' active roster.
EDGE Analysis
King will provide depth to a Chargers' linebacker corps that has lost Manti Te'o and Nick Dzubnar for the year and will be without Jatavis Brown and likely Denzel Perryman for Week 9.
