Jacksonville Jaguars Injuries

The move to IR does not come with a designation to return, meaning Mustipher will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season. It's unclear when he sustained the injury or what the nature of it is, but he'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Green sustained the injury while on punt coverage during the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns in Week 1. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, meaning he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest Green is eligible to return from IR is Week 6 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 18.

The 2026 seventh-rounder will need to miss the first four weeks of the regular season at least before he is eligible to return to the active roster. Durfee is set to be a reserve piece of the Jaguars' defensive line throughout the 2026 season, and once he is healthy there should be a path to reserve snaps.

Mekari will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, meaning Week 5 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest he can play. The California product is recovering from back surgery that he underwent in mid-August. Ezra Cleveland is in line to start at right guard for as long as Mekari is out of action.

Oluokun likely suffered the wrist injury in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. The linebacker was dominant in the contest, recording four tackles (three solo) and an interception. Oluokun will need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to avoid an injury designation ahead of next Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The outside linebacker seems to have picked up a problem with his right knee but isn't expected to have a particularly lengthy absence. The fact O'Halloran notes Kiser is expected back "later in camp" suggests the 2025 fourth-round pick should have a chance to return to the field with enough time to amply prepare for what's expected to be a starting role in 2026.

Tuten should be fine by the time Week 1 against the Browns rolls around in 11 days. The second-year running back is expected to have a significant role in Jacksonville's backfield this season, but how this running back depth chart shakes out will be a situation to watch against Cleveland. All three of Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) are likely to see snaps when healthy.

Allen played one offensive snap in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns last Sunday, suggesting he doesn't have much of a role on offense behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez. Allen can be ignored in redraft fantasy leagues.

This was expected, as coach Liam Coen said Monday that the third-year wideout would be limited this week as he works through a shoulder issue. Coen added that he expects Thomas to be available Week 2, but it will depend on how his shoulder holds up going into the weekend. Of note, fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was also limited Wednesday.

Both Meyers and Brian Thomas (shoulder) were limited in Wednesday's session. Meyers dealt with a thumb injury late in the preseason but was able to give it a go in Week 1, catching two passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Limited practices may be the norm for Meyers for the time being until his thumb is back to 100 percent, but it certainly didn't stop him from playing well in the opener.

Thomas was briefly forced from Sunday's win over the Browns but was able to return and finished with three catches for 40 yards on three targets. Coen expects Thomas to play next Sunday against the Broncos despite the shoulder issue, but the matchup will be much tougher on paper. Behind Parker Washington in the pecking order for targets, Thomas is shaping up as a WR4 fantasy bet moving forward.

Green injured his elbow while on punt coverage in the first quarter, and the injury is severe enough that he won't return to Sunday's contest. Danny Striggow will be the primary rotational option at defensive end behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker in Green's absence.

All three of Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) are likely to see snaps when healthy.

Meyers has been out of action since injuring his hand during a joint practice with the Panthers nearly two weeks ago, but he is set to return to the field Wednesday. With Meyers cleared to get some work in, it seems likely he is on track to take the field Week 1 against the Browns.

Coen said he'd be "pleasantly surprised" if Allen plays Sunday, Sept. 13, against Cleveland, so it sounds like the running back could be on the wrong side of a questionable tag. If Allen is unable to play, Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten (illness) would likely soak up the couple handfuls of snaps Allen would have been in line to play. Allen has extremely minimal fantasy appeal, even in the deepest of leagues.

Mekari will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, meaning Week 5 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest he can play.

Thomas made an early exit Tuesday for the first of two joint practices after falling on his shoulder while catching a touchdown pass in red-zone drills. Head coach Liam Coen said afterward that Thomas was "alright," though Coen indicated that the Jaguars would likely err on the side of caution and keep the receiver out for Friday's preseason finale versus Tampa Bay. Thomas' return to the field in a day later -- even in what appears to be a limited capacity -- is a good sign that he'll be ready to go for the Jaguars' Sept. 13 season opener versus the Browns.

Meyers was wearing a brace on his right hand while observing Friday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. It's unclear whether the veteran wideout will be cleared to practice in the upcoming week, but the injury could prevent him from suiting up for Jacksonville's preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Friday, Aug. 28. Any time that Meyers misses means Travis Hunter and rookie sixth-rounders Josh Cameron and C.J. Williams would be in line for more reps alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington (undisclosed).

DiGiorgio opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to an undisclosed injury. Now that he's on IR, he'll be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Jaguars.

The outside linebacker seems to have picked up a problem with his right knee but isn't expected to have a particularly lengthy absence. The fact O'Halloran notes Kiser is expected back "later in camp" suggests the 2025 fourth-round pick should have a chance to return to the field with enough time to amply prepare for what's expected to be a starting role in 2026.

Van Lanen sat out January's wild-card loss to the Bills with a knee injury, though it's unclear whether his current absence is related to that issue. The 27-year-old will be eligible to participate in practice once healthy but will be limited to sideline work until then.
