  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived linebacker Jack Kiser ahead of their Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kiser was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft. As a rookie, he served as a key player on special teams. However, he suffered an injury on the first day of training camp and has since been sidelined. During roster reductions, Kiser was released and subsequently signed to the practice squad. He was then signed to the 53-man roster on September 16th but has yet to play a game. To make space for Jalen McLeod, who was elevated from the practice squad, the Jaguars released Kiser. McLeod has been a crucial special teams contributor in the last three games. The Jaguars have also elevated safety Kaevon Merriweather and cornerback Jabbar Muhammad to the active roster for the upcoming game.",
