  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars have bolstered their defensive tackle depth by signing veteran Austin Johnson to the practice squad, following the injury of DaVon Hamilton. Johnson, a second-round pick by Tennessee in 2016, joined the Jaguars during the last year's training camp in August, signing with the team in early August. Despite his late addition, Johnson became a regular contributor throughout the 2025 season, averaging nearly 14 snaps per game with two quarterback pressures and a sack. He graded well against the run according to PFF's metrics. Johnson was a free agent this offseason but was not re-signed by the Jaguars. This move comes after Hamilton's injury in Sunday's game, potentially leaving the Jaguars to explore trade options at the position before the November 10 deadline.",
  "summary": "The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing a familiar face at defensive tackle to bolster the depth of this position group.",
