The Jacksonville Jaguars' offense is receiving a huge boost going into Sunday's Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
On Saturday, the Jaguars announced that tight end Brenton Strange has been activated off injured reserve and added back to the 53-man roster. He will be available for Sunday's game.

Strange was placed on injured reserve following a hip injury he sustained in Week 5 against Kansas City. He returned to practice last week.
Through five weeks, Strange provided the Jaguars' passing game with a steady presence, catching 20-of-24 passes for 204 yards.
His impact, however, went well beyond that aspect of the offense. Strange's blocking abilities and versatility brought a do-it-all presence to the offense, adding some unpredictability to this unit with all the different hats he can wear.
