Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone discusses final 53-man roster moves

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone held a news conference at the Miller Electric Center on September 1 to review the team’s finalized 53-man roster and practice squad. Gladstone addressed the recent trade for backup quarterback Quinn Ewers, noting the front office felt confident in the player's development following a review of his rookie performance. The roster construction includes a heavier emphasis on the defensive front compared to last season, while the team opted to carry fewer linebackers. The organization also signed quarterback Nick Mullens to the practice squad to maintain veteran presence and system familiarity. Contract extension discussions remain ongoing for Parker Washington, and the team will begin regular game-week preparations ahead of the season opener against the Cleveland Browns at EverBank Stadium.
