The #Jaguars are signing safety and special teamer Kaevon Merriweather to their 53-man roster from their practice squad, Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Jacksonville is signing Merriweather from its practice squad to the active roster. The Iowa product works at safety and on special teams.

Why it matters: He appeared in 13 games in 2025 for Tampa Bay and Houston. He finished that season with 11 tackles.

By the numbers: Fourth NFL season out of Iowa; joined Jacksonville practice squad Sept. 2.

What to watch: Next is whether he dresses this week and where he fits in the safety rotation.
