Jacksonville is adding Tim Patrick from Detroit in a trade for a 2026 sixth-round pick, giving the Jaguars another veteran option behind their five-man WR set.

Jacksonville traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to Detroit Lions for Tim Patrick and waived Austin Trammell to clear a 53-man roster spot.

Patrick adds veteran depth to the Jaguars’ WR group, while Trammell’s release signals a shift in how Jacksonville plans to rotate receivers, with Trenton Irwin and other incumbents contending for roles behind the top targets.

Fantasy angle: Patrick’s healthy return could lift Jacksonville’s passing game, but injury history and timing will drive his involvement day-to-day.

Cam Little drilled a 59-yard field goal to supply the Jaguars’ lone points in a 6-14 preseason loss to the Dolphins, marking a clear showcase of leg power and potential as a Week 1 option. Jack Kiser flashed as a hybrid weapon—three pressures, a sack, and four tackles—earning a deeper defensive role beyond special teams. Four roster bubble players came away with strong cases: Striggow and Green each logged sacks; Trammell showed versatility at receiver; Morris produced as a reliable target and blocker. The defense impressed, pressuring Miami’s starting unit twice on opening drives and notching six sacks, while penalties (eight for 60 yards) remain a concern. The Jaguars expect more blitzing under Campanile, and Ja’Quinden Jackson keeps carving out a role in a crowded backfield.
