The Jacksonville Jaguars have apparently signed rookie defensive tackle Nate Collins off the New York Giants' practice squad.

"Until we meet again #NY. Wheels up next stop FLA!", Collins tweeted this morning. Earlier communiques via Twitter included a re-tweet of a welcome message from Courtney Greene, a starting safety for the Jaguars.

Collins (6-2, 290) signed with the Giants in April as an undrafted free agent from the University of Virginia. Collins posted three tackles during the pre-season, and was waived and re-signed to the practice squad at the start of the regular season.

The Jaguars had put in a claim for Collins in September, but were awarded the rights to Landon Cohen instead. For being signed off a practice squad, by rule, Collins is guaranteed three game-checks ($18,824 each) from the Jaguars, who cut Cohen earlier this week and placed defensive end Aaron Kampman on injured reserve with a torn ACL.

During his college career, Collins posted 161 tackles, including 23.5 for a loss and 9 quarterback sacks. Collins did not become a full-time starter until last season, where he picked up first-team All-ACC honors.
