With their preseason in the books, the Jacksonville Jaguars are officially under the league’s 53-man roster limit as of Wednesday afternoon. The team cut or traded 27 players between their loss to the Atlanta Falcons and today to get under the threshold, and will now look to add talent from the fresh pool of free agents and waiver wire ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Any signings they make over the course of the next week and a half will be at the expense of a player who is currently on the roster, so they’ll need a clear idea of their game plan if they choose to upgrade any position between now and September 11th. New players won’t have the benefit of training camp practices or preseason warmup games with the Jaguars, so their use may be limited until they have time to acclimate to the new playbook and schemes they’ll use in Jacksonville.
