With Jason Campbell nursing a bruised elbow, Scott and Tyler Wilson handled the backup quarterback duties in Saturday's preseason game and struggled against the Jets, with Scott losing a fumble while getting blitzed from the blind side in his first series. Scott had the misfortune of facing the Jets' first-team defense while being protected (or, in this case, not being protected) by the Bengals' second-team offensive line. The starters have looked good for the Bengals this preseason, but the backups have not.

Bengals claimed QB Matt Scott off waivers from the Jaguars.

Jaguars waived QB Matt Scott. A "name" undrafted free agent last season, Scott ended up spending the entire year on Jacksonville's practice squad. He completed just 18-of-40 passes (45 percent) in the preseason. Scott doesn't have an NFL future.

Jaguars signed QB Matt Scott, S Sherrod Martin, TE Brandon Barden, WR Chad Bumphis, RB Shaun Chapas, OT DeMarcus Love, DE Will Pericak, DE D'Aundre Reed, WR Jabin Sambrano, and C Matt Stankiewitch to reserve/future contracts. Scott was thought to have a chance to be a mid-round pick in last April's draft, but he fell out of it completely and spent the entire season on Jacksonville's practice squad. Martin started 49 games for the Panthers from 2009-2012 and is 29 years old.

Undrafted rookie QB Matt Scott (high-ankle sprain) has shed his walking boot, and was participating in Jaguars OTAs on Monday. Scott's "high-ankle sprain" came just nine days ago, but he's clearly feeling a sense of urgency as he makes his roster bid. Battling with fellow UDFA Jordan Rodgers for No. 3 duties, Scott has a legit chance at a roster spot, but can't afford to miss any time with injury.

Updating a previous item, Jaguars undrafted rookie QB Matt Scott suffered a high-ankle sprain in Friday's minicamp practice. Scott sprained the ankle on a play where he threw an interception to second-round SS Johnathan Cyprien. Jaguars OTAs start on May 13, and high-ankle sprains typically take 2-4 weeks to recover from. Scott can't afford to miss four weeks. Luckily for him, fellow undrafted rookie QB Jordan Rodgers is battling a groin injury. Fourth-round WR Ace Sanders is also dealing with a groin issue.

Jaguars QB Matt Scott is in a walking boot after twisting his left foot/ankle in Friday's practice. It's not believed to be a major concern, and we'd expect Scott to be ready to roll for OTAs. After going undrafted, Scott immediately signed on with the quarterback-needy Jaguars. It wouldn't be a shock if he made the team and saw the field in year one, although his accuracy and footwork have a long way to go.
