We have signed LB Jalen McLeod to the active roster from the practice squad, elevated CB Jabbar Muhammad & S Kaevon Via @Jaguars on X

What happened: Linebacker Jalen McLeod has been added to the 53-man roster ahead of tomorrow's game. Cornerback Jabbar Muhammad and safety Kaevon Merriweather join him as standard practice squad elevations. The organization waived linebacker Jack Kiser to accommodate the moves.

Why it matters: These transactions reinforce the secondary depth chart for the upcoming matchup. The shuffling continues a recent trend, as McLeod and Muhammad were also elevated prior to last week's game.

By the numbers: Drafted 107th overall out of Notre Dame, Kiser recorded 14 tackles in 14 games during his 2025 rookie season. Merriweather enters his fourth NFL season having made 11 tackles across 13 games last year.

What to watch: Kiser will hit the waiver wire, while the elevated defensive backs return to the practice squad after the game.
