What happened: Jacksonville elevated quarterback Nick Mullens and linebacker Jalen McLeod to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game. The matchup had not started and was 0-0 at the latest update.

Why it matters: The decision gives Jacksonville extra depth at quarterback and linebacker on game day. It also keeps Nick Mullens in Jacksonville's depth picture after he remained with the club on the practice squad at the end of August.

What to watch: Watch how Jacksonville uses its added depth once play begins. The game remained scheduled at the latest update.
