The Jacksonville Jaguars finalized their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 NFL season.
There weren’t any major surprises on cut day, but it was an active one for general manager James Gladstone. The Jags waived offseason playmaker Jabbar Muhammad in favor of the more experienced cornerback Christian Braswell II, upgraded at quarterback from Nick Mullens to Quinn Ewers, and kept Quintin Morris on board as TE4 after trading away Hunter Long.
With the team keeping four tight ends and four running backs
— shoutout Ameer Abdullah — that meant there was a little less room on the other side of the ball. Jacksonville’s weakest on-paper position is officially linebacker, as the team parted with Jack Kiser, Yasir Abdullah and Jalen McLeod. Just five guys man that spot now.
Here’s a look at the 53-man roster, though it’s sure to change considerably by the time the Jaguars play in Inglewood on February 14.
