Benn is among the players the Jaguars have signed to a reserve/future contract, the team's official site reports.
Benn, a second-round draft pick by the Bucs in 2010, last caught a regular season pass in 2012, but if healthy, he could compete for a depth wideout spot with the Jags next summer.

Benn will not return to Thursday's exhibition game due to a head injury, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It's unclear exactly when Benn sustained the injury, but any time the words "head injury" are tossed around, the player's status for the following week is immediately clouded. Look for the Eagles to update his status later in the week.
Fri Aug 15 201422:10Benn started Friday's preseason game against Patriots
Benn started Friday's preseason game against the Patriots, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.
The starting designation doesn't mean much in this case, as Benn is likely just hoping to win a spot on the final roster. With Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) and Riley Cooper (foot) sidelined, the Eagles have opted not to start rookies Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff (shoulder), instead going with guys like Benn, Brad Smith and Ifeanyi Momah, all of whom are long shots to emerge as fantasy options this season. Benn caught a pass for six yards on his only target in Friday's game.
Tue May 27 201421:23Arrelious Benn has 'no issues' with knee
ESPN's Adam Caplan reports Eagles WR Arrelious Benn has experienced "no issues" with his surgically-repaired left knee.
Benn tore his ACL last August, and spent the year on injured reserve. He was waived May 16 before being re-signed to a smaller salary three days later. Although still only 26 (in September), Benn is a long-shot to crack the Eagles' 53-man roster.

Mon May 19 201409:35Eagles bring back WR Arrelious Benn
Eagles re-signed WR Arrelious Benn.
Benn is coming off an ACL tear and was previously scheduled to make $1.1 million. So the Eagles cut him and then bring him back three days later -- likely on a minimum contract. Injury-plagued and unproductive throughout his career, Benn is an extremely poor bet to make an impact on the Eagles' receiving corps this season.

Wed Aug 7 201316:23WR Benn officially placed on injured reserve
Eagles placed WR Arrelious Benn on injured reserve with a torn left ACL, ending his season.
Benn is now tasked with returning from his second torn left ACL in four years. Although he's still only 25, it could be a career-killing injury for the former Buc. The No. 39 overall pick of the 2010 draft, Benn has just 59 catches in 37 career games. He's currently under contract with the Eagles for 2014, but it's highly doubtful he'll be back.

Mon Aug 5 201308:44Arrelious Benn impresses Kelly early
Coach Chip Kelly said he was "pleasantly surprised" by how Arrelious Benn (knee) looked in his first practice Sunday.
Benn is trying to shed an injury-prone label, make the Eagles' roster and help fill Jeremy Maclin's shoes all at once. He's a name to watch because he's more talented than Riley Cooper or Jason Avant, and has far greater size ((6'2/220) than Damaris Johnson. Benn started off with the third team on Sunday, behind the likes of rookies Ifeanyi Momah and rookie Russell Shepard.

Fri Mar 22 201310:43Arrelious Benn acknowledges injury history
New Eagles WR Arrelious Benn knows he's had a "problem with injuries," and acknowledges he's "got to stay healthy" in 2013.
"I'll be honest with you, I don't like my career" to this point," Benn said. "I got to stay healthy. I haven't stayed healthy. ... And when I was healthy and out there, I made plays, and I was consistent." Benn missed 11 of a possible 48 games with the Bucs, and was rarely 100 percent. He needs to show something in Eagles camp.

Thu Mar 21 201315:52Benn signed one-year extension with Eagles
Eagles signed WR Arrelious Benn to a one-year contract extension through 2014.
Benn and a 2013 seventh-round pick were acquired from the Bucs in exchange for a 2013 sixth-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick last week. The 24-year-old is signed for just $630,000 in 2013, and he's likely just getting a bump up to the five-year veteran's minimum for 2014. Benn will compete for a roster spot this summer.

Fri Mar 15 201316:49Buccaneers ship WR Arrelious Benn to Eagles
Eagles acquired WR Arrelious Benn and a 2013 seventh-round pick from the Buccaneers in exchange for Philadelphia's 2013 sixth-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick.
Bucs GM Mark Dominik didn't get much, but he did do well to get anything at all for Benn, who's been a near-complete bust since Tampa Bay drafted him with the 39th overall pick in 2010. Billed as a chain-moving possession receiver with run-afer-catch ability coming out of Illinois, Benn has been incredibly injury prone en route to just 862 yards and five touchdowns across 37 career games (24 starts). He'll battle for a roster spot in Eagles camp.

Mon Mar 11 201316:43Bucs put Arrelious Benn on the trade block
The Tampa Bay Times reports the Buccaneers are shopping Arrelious Benn.
A colossal disappointment since the Bucs took him 39th overall in the 2010 draft, Benn has managed 59 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns across 37 career games, making 24 starts. Tampa Bay would lucky to get back a seventh-round pick, although Benn's $630,000 base salary does figure to help his trade market.
