JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars changed the roster in a big way Sunday.

Two weeks before the 2026 regular-season opener, the Jaguars had one of their busiest transaction days of the year as they reduced their roster to the NFL regular-season limit of 53 players. Teams had until Sunday at 6 p.m. EST to reduce to 53.

The Jaguars waived 25 players Sunday, released nine others, waived/injured two players, and placed two on reserve/injured (designated to return).

Quarterback Nick Mullens, wide receivers Tim Jones and Austin Trammell, offensive lineman Chuma Edoga and running back DeeJay Dallas were among the players released by the Jaguars Sunday. Linebackers Yasir Abdullah, Jalen McLeod and Jack Kiser were among those waived.

Mullens, an eight-year veteran, spent last season as the backup to starter Trevor Lawrence. His release came a day after the Jaguars traded a sixth-round selection in the 2028 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins for second-year quarterback Quinn Ewers.

Edoga played in 14 games with two starts for the Jaguars last season after signing as an unrestricted free agent in the 2025 offseason, with Dallas playing in three games last season for the Jaguars.

Jones has played 53 games with three starts for the Jaguars the past five seasons, with Trammell playing seven games for the Jaguars the past two seasons.

Abdullah, a sixth-round selection by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft, played 29 games with three starts in three seasons. Kiser, a fourth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, played in 14 games as a rookie. McLeod, a sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, spent the 2025 season on injured reserve.

The Jaguars on Sunday also waived undrafted rookie quarterback Joey Aguilar and waived/injured quarterback Carter Bradley, with Bradley spending last season on the Jaguars' practice squad.

Sunday's moves:

• Waived (25): Abdullah, Aguilar, defensive tackle Tommy Akingbesote, defensive lineman T.J. Bollers, wide receiver Brady Boyd, wide receiver Chandler Brayboy, linebacker Amari Burney, offensive lineman Jerome Carvin, defensive end Quindarius Dunnigan, tight end Patrick Herbert, cornerback Preston Hodge, defensive tackle Jalen Hunt, Kiser, offensive lineman Ricky Lee, McLeod, offensive lineman Timothy McKay, cornerback Jabbar Muhammed, safety Devin Neal Jr., offensive lineman Jimto Obidegwu, wide receiver Trebor Peña, safety Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig, running back J'Mari Taylor, safety Trevian Thomas, wide receiver Michael Wortham and offensive lineman Kilian Zierer.

• Traded (1): Tight end Hunter Long (to the Arizona Cardinals, with the Jaguars sending a 2028 seventh-round selection to the Cardinals and receiving a 2028 sixth-round selection).

The team announced the transactions Sunday, with all players released/waived eligible to be on the Jaguars' 16-player practice squad. Six of those players can be veterans of any experience, with teams allowed 17 players on the practice squad if one is part of the NFL's International Pathway Program. Zierer is part of the IPP.
