The Jacksonville Jaguars‘ roster on Sunday will include a quarterback who wasn’t on the active roster a few days ago.

On September 12, 2026, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that quarterback Nick Mullens would be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for their Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns. This move comes after the team traded for quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins in the preseason, with the expectation that Ewers would emerge as Trevor Lawrence's backup.
However, Ewers has only been with the team for two weeks, making Mullens a more reliable option as backup. Mullens, who was the Jaguars' backup last season, knows the offense and has a career completion rate of 66.0%.
