The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver Marqise Lee on Monday.

Lee reportedly is healthy after playing only six games with three receptions for 18 yards in 2019. He missed the 2018 season after tearing multiple ligaments in his left knee in the preseason.

The 39th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Lee was one of two second-round receivers drafted by Jacksonville — Allen Robinson was the 61st overall pick — in the same year the team selected quarterback Blake Bortles third overall.

Lee, 28, has 174 career receptions for 2,184 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Jaguars also released running back Taj McGowan, who didn’t see any action as a rookie in 2019.
