The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to acquire guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants in exchange for a late-round 2027 draft pick, according to a source close to the trade. This move aims to provide the Jaguars with much-needed assistance on their offensive line, which has been struggling with a series of injuries. Notably, right guard Patrick Mekari is currently recovering from back surgery and might start the season on short-term injured reserve, while starting right tackle Cole Van Lanen is on the physically unable to perform list.
Multiple backups, including Chuma Edoga, Walker Little, and rookie Emmanuel Pregnon, have also missed significant time in training camp, though Pregnon has since returned to practice. Faalele, a 26-year-old, had been taking second-team snaps at Giants training camp before being replaced by France "Sisi" Mauigoa, who was selected by the Giants with the 10th pick.
Faalele had started all 17 games for the Baltimore Ravens each of the past two seasons, having played a total of 71 NFL games since making his debut in 2022. He joined the Giants in 2023 following Harbaugh's move to New York.
