The Jacksonville Jaguars announced a series of roster moves on Wednesday.
As had been reported, the Jaguars did sign former second-round draft pick BJ Ojulari, however, he has been signed to the practice squad and not the active roster.
This move bolsters the Jaguars' pass rush depth, with BJ Green being placed on injured reserve. Green suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's game. He now has to miss a minimum of four games.
Ojulari was a second-round pick by Arizona in the 2023 NFL draft. He is still just 24 years old. The Cardinals released Ojulari on Aug. 30 as part of roster cutdowns.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have made the following roster moves: - Signed LB Jack Kiser to the active roster from the practice squad - Signed DE BJ Ojulari to the practice squad - Placed
DE B.J. Green II on the Reserve/Injured list

As a rookie in 2023, Ojulari totaled 20 pressures over 161 pass rush snaps. He then missed the 2024 season with an ACL injury. Last year, Ojulari made his 2025 debut in Week 11, and went on to play 204 total snaps. He logged seven pressures and a sack.
Wesley Williams and Bryan Thomas Jr., both of whom were inactive on Sunday, provide additional defensive end help as well.
Taking Green's spot on the 53-man roster is linebacker Jack Kiser. A fourth-round pick by the Jaguars in 2025, Kiser filled a special-teams-heavy role as a rookie. He did miss nearly all of training camp with a knee injury and was released during roster cutdowns before being brought back on the practice squad.
