Several Key Jaguars Players Will Not Participate in Preseason Week 2 vs. Saints
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released their inactive list for Preseason Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, and several notable names will not suit up.
According to the team, the following players will not participate in the matchup:
#3 Tyson Campbell
#5 Dyami Brown
#12 Travis Hunter
#27 Caleb Ransaw
#30 Montaric Brown
#53 Jalen McLeod
#55 Chuma Edoga
#57 Dennis Gardeck
#70 Cole Van Lanen
#77 Anton Harrison
#91 Arik Armstead
#94 Maason Smith
The Jaguars, like most NFL teams in August, are balancing roster evaluation and player health as they progress through the preseason schedule. Several of the listed players are projected starters or key rotational pieces, and the decision to hold them out is likely precautionary as the regular season approaches.
Head coach Doug Pederson and his staff will instead use the opportunity to give extended reps to younger players and those fighting for roster spots. With depth chart battles still unfolding at multiple positions, tonight’s contest against New Orleans will serve as a proving ground.
Kickoff for JAX vs. NO is set for later this evening as Jacksonville continues its preparations for the 2025 NFL season.
