Jacksonville's Week 5 injury report centers on edge pressure and line depth. Travon Walker (wrist) and Yasir Abdullah (hamstring) did not practice, with Walker listed day-to-day after a specialist visit. The team plans smart reps and relies on Edoga and Van Lanen to stabilize the line while Anton Harrison continues to progress. Several role players are limited, including Dyami Brown, Ezra Cleveland, Bhayshul Tuten, Wyatt Milum, Eric Murray, and others, shaping a flexible game plan.

Tyler Guyton used an offseason After Action Report to overhaul his rookie season, adopting diet changes (salmon over fast food) and a new hour-long stretching routine that improved mobility and technique. He didn’t allow a sack in Dallas’ Week 1 loss to Philadelphia, though five pressures showed up, mitigated by Dak Prescott’s quick release. The Cowboys and coach Brian Schottenheimer praise his maturation, signaling a potential stable left tackle path with fantasy upside if health and technique hold.

Early confidence came from a run-friendly script behind Guyton, plus Tyron Smith’s mentoring on punching through defenders. If this trajectory continues, Dak’s pocket time could rise, boosting Dallas’ passing efficiency and the run game’s tempo. Fantasy managers should monitor Guyton’s snap rate and technique retention as the season unfolds, since a steady blind side often unlocks both QB floor and receiver opportunities.

Jacksonville traded Fred Johnson to Philadelphia for a 2026 seventh-round pick, trimming depth as final roster cuts loom. Johnson produced 497 snaps for the Eagles in 2024, starting six times, and logged 78 offensive snaps in two Jaguars preseason games before the deal. Jacksonville shifts to Anton Harrison at left tackle with Walker Little likely at LT and a tackle-depth mix including Chuma Edoga, Patrick Mekari, Wyatt Milum, and Cole Van Lanen.

Philadelphia adds veteran reserve depth behind their bookends, while the Jaguars recoup draft capital and clear room for a young group to prove itself. Fantasy players should monitor how the reshaped O-line rotations shake up pass protection and run-blocking time tables in both teams' lineups as cuts finalize.

Jacksonville’s Sunday showcase against New Orleans is unraveling behind the scenes as 11 starters and key reserves are ruled out with injuries or precautionary rests. Travis Hunter leads the casualty list, listed with an upper‑body issue, as the Jaguars shuffle a rotation that already features Anton Harrison, Chuma Edoga, Tyson Campbell, Arik Armstead, Maason Smith, Cole Van Lanen, Montaric Brown, Jalen McLeod, Caleb Ransaw and Dennis Gardeck among those inactive. Dyami Brown is also out, further squeezing the WR room. Hunter, who has practiced on both sides and logged big practice snaps, remains a focal point of Jacksonville’s depth chart as the team aims to preserve health for Week 1. The Saints, meanwhile, will draw on reserves and evaluative reps, setting a deeper look at Jaguars’ tackle and edge depth, and how the defense adapts without its usual week-to-week starters.

Three Jaguars backups stood out as Week 2 preseason rosters battles heat up. Braswell, Johnson, and Edoga are fight­ing for real playing time while Jacksonville sorts out its depth ahead of the final cutdown. Braswell has begun to separate at corner, Johnson is flashing interior disruption, and Edoga is pushing to reclaim a starting guard spot as the lineup experiments with Mekari and Harrison. The trio represents a tangible fantasy lens for late-round or waiver-wire adds who could materialize into steady depth pieces if they seize opportunistic reps in August.

Braswell has pushed his way into the CB conversation by consistently winning outside reps when other starters were limited. His pass breakup flashes and practice-standout scrimmage impact suggest a real chance at cracking a six-CB cadre, especially with Hunter splitting time and Campbell entrenched. Johnson, a long-time veteran, brings interior versatility and playmaking jitter from the interior. His added snap count could materialize into rotational value if the Jaguars ride his experience in sub packages. Edoga, meanwhile, has the most to gain on the offensive line, moving between guard and tackle and proving he can contribute behind Mekari and Harrison. A steadier camp shows he could be the swing option for the interior line this season.
