Jacksonville Jaguars elevate Nick Mullens for NFL season opener against Cleveland Browns
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars have elevated quarterback Nick Mullens to the active roster for the Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns. Mullens, who was signed to the practice squad after final roster cuts, provides additional depth behind Trevor Lawrence and Ewers. According to general manager James Gladstone, the decision to promote Mullens stems from his familiarity with the Liam Coen offensive system. The team intends to utilize his experience to assist in the meeting rooms and on the sidelines throughout the game. This move counts as one of three practice squad elevations available to the team this season.
