The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated linebacker Dennis Gardeck from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Gardeck, who previously suffered an ACL injury while playing for the Arizona Cardinals, has yet to participate in training camp since his activation. His return may require a gradual ramp-up period before he is fully integrated into practice.

Despite being listed as a linebacker, Gardeck's NFL experience has primarily been as a defensive end, particularly excelling in pass-rushing roles. In the 2023 season, he notched 42 pressures and six sacks, showcasing his potential to bolster the Jaguars' defensive depth. Additionally, Gardeck has been a significant contributor on special teams.
