Rourke was waived by the Jaguars on Saturday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rourke was elevated from Jacksonville's practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Saints, and he served as the team's emergency quarterback. The Ohio product has since been waived and could very well end up on the Jaguars' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Rourke has been designated the Jaguars' third QB for Thursday night's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Starting QB Trevor Lawrence, who has been dealing with a knee sprain, is active for the contest, with C.J. Beathard on hand as his top backup. Rourke was signed off the Jaguars' practice squad Wednesday to provide the team with added signal-caller depth ahead of Week 7 action.

The Jaguars signed Rourke off their practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence dealing with a knee sprain, Rourke provides the Jaguars with added depth ahead of Thursday's game against the Saints. As Tom Pelissero of NFL Network notes, adding Rourke to the 53-man roster makes him eligible to be designated as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback versus New Orleans if Lawrence is listed as active. Rourke would serve as the top backup to C.J. Beathard if Lawrence is inactive.

The Jaguars plan to sign Rourke off their practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Rourke is promoted to the 53-man roster, he would provide the Jaguars with added quarterback depth while Trevor Lawrence tends to a sprained knee. For his part, Lawrence has said that he hopes to play Thursday, but if he can't go, C.J. Beathard would likely get the start while Rourke would be active as the No. 2 quarterback.

Rourke signed with Jacksonville's practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rourke will provide organizational depth behind franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence and backup C.J. Beathard. The former CFL standout has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

The Jaguars waived Rourke on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rourke was looking to parlay a standout season with the CFL's BC Lions into an NFL career. He was competing against C.J. Beathard for the backup role under center behind Trevor Lawrence but ultimately came up short. He will now be a candidate to land on Jacksonville's practice squad should he choose to go that route.

Rourke is signing with the Jaguars, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rourke has been competing with the BC Lions of the CFL and had received tryouts with multiple NFL teams. The 24-year-old threw for 3,349 yards and 25 touchdowns to go with 10 interceptions in 10 games last season. He also rushed 39 times for 304 yards and another seven touchdowns. He'll likely be competing for a spot behind Trevor Lawrence on Jacksonville's quarterback depth chart.
