Jaguars have elevated QB Nick Mullens and LB Jalen McLeod to the active roster from the practice squad for their game ag

What happened: Jacksonville elevated QB Nick Mullens and LB Jalen McLeod from the practice squad for the scheduled game against the Denver Broncos. The game has not started yet.

Why it matters: Game day elevations usually signal a team still working through depth concerns at the edges of the roster. When the Jaguars need Mullens active for this spot, it is fair to question how settled Jacksonville really is heading into Denver. McLeod's call-up also suggests Jacksonville wants extra flexibility, which does not read like a roster fully set in place.
