Huzzie went undrafted in 2025 out of North Carolina and has spent his first year-plus in the NFL with the Texans. Huzzie appeared in one game defensively last season, playing 23 snaps in Week 18 against Indianapolis.

With the Jaguars, Huzzie was often inactive on game days, appearing in only one game -- Week 6 against Houston -- when he played 13 special teams snaps.

The move may have been made to make room on the 53-man roster for

one of the Jaguars' three trade deadline additions.
