2 Jaguars' 2025 draft picks left off 2026 53-man roster

The Jacksonville Jaguars released their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, and not included were two 2025 draft picks.

Linebackers Jack Kiser and Jalen McLeod have been waived and are subject to waivers.

Kiser, a fourth-round pick in 2025, filled a special-teams-heavy role as a rookie. A knee injury, however, sidelined him for nearly all of training camp.

McLeod, a sixth-round selection in 2025, missed his rookie season due to injury. His play throughout the summer was up and down, although he did seem to come on strong at the end.

Making up the Jaguars linebacker room are Foye Oluokun, Ventrell Miller, Branson Combs, Dennis Gardeck, and Jahlani Tavai.
