Jaguars Work Roster Down To 53
Here are the transactions that set the initial 53-man roster for the Jaguars’ new rookie head coach/general manager duo in 2025:
Released:
- OL Tremayne Anchrum
- WR Trenton Irwin
- TE Quintin Morris
- S Daniel Thomas
- QB John Wolford
Waived:
- TE Shawn Bowman
- WR Chandler Brayboy
- WR Cam Camper
- DT James Carpenter
- OL Jerome Carvin
- DE Myles Cole
- LB Branson Combs
- TE John Copenhaver

- DT Tyler Lacy
- WR Darius Lassiter
- T Ricky Lee
- CB Keni-H Lovely
- CB Jabbar Muhammed
- LB Chad Muma
- CB De’Antre Prince
- DT Keivie Rose
- S Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig
- WR Dorian Singer
- CB Doneiko Slaughter
- CB Aydan White
- OL Sal Wormley
Waived/injured:
- WR Eli Pancol
Placed on IR (designated for return):
- LB Jalen McLeod
Placed on IR:
The placement of Ransaw on injured reserve is definitely a shock. The third-round rookie out of Tulane switched from cornerback to safety in Jacksonville and was in a crowded group of defenders vying for a roster spot. Even though Ransaw was working through a lower-body injury throughout training camp, he was still expected to make the 53-man roster. Instead, his rookie season is over before it got a chance to begin. His placement on IR also didn’t end up helping Thomas or Silmon-Craig, who were both in that group pushing for the active roster.
Sixth-round pick McLeod also found his way to an injured list, but unlike Ransaw, McLeod will be able to return at some point into the season, after missing at least four games. He’s also dealing with a nondescript lower-body injury.
This cut day was a rough one for the 2024 NFL Draft class in Jacksonville. Cole, Foster, Jefferson, and Prince were all taken in last year’s class and have been waived before their sophomore campaigns. Muma and Lacy are other recent draft picks that new general manager James Gladstone didn’t keep around.
