Jaguars' Chad Muma: Sees more defensive work in 2024
Rotowire
Muma recorded 32 total tackles over 17 games in 2024.
The third-year pro from Wyoming played 102 more defensive snaps in 2024 than in 2023, improving his tackle output by 17. However, Muma logged fewer passes defended (two to zero) and still primarily served as a special-teamer, with 322 of his 563 total snaps coming on special teams this season. Jacksonville's linebacker trio of Ventrell Miller (ankle), Devin Lloyd and Foyesade Oluokun were very productive in 2024, so it will likely be difficult for Muma to crack Jacksonville's starting defense in 2025. With one year remaining on his rookie deal, the 25-year-old is expected to remain one of the Jaguars' top reserve linebackers.

Jaguars' Chad Muma: Records eight stops Week 4
Rotowire
Muma registered eight tackles (three solo) Sunday in a loss to the Texans.
Muma got the opportunity to start with both Devin Lloyd (knee) and Foyesade Oluokun (foot) missing the contest. Muma was on the field for all but four of Jacksonville's defensive snaps and finished tied for second on the team in stops. Oluokun is on IR and Lloyd isn't certain to return Week 5 against the Colts, so Muma could be in for another big workload this Sunday.

Jaguars' Chad Muma: Sees increased snaps in Week 3
Rotowire
Muma finished Monday's 47-10 loss to Buffalo with seven tackles (two solo).
Muma's seven tackles Monday were his most since Week 4 against the Falcons in 2023. The 2022 third-round pick played a season-high 27 snaps on defense after Foye Oluokun was forced out of Monday's loss due to a foot injury. With Oluokun considered week-to-week due to his injury, Muma should see increased reps for Week 4 against the Texans on Sunday.

Jaguars' Chad Muma: Clear for Sunday
Rotowire
Muma (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Muma missed last week's win over the Titans with the ankle injury and was considered questionable for Sunday, but he's been cleared to take the field versus the Cowboys. Prior to the absence, the rookie third-round pick played a significant defensive role in his last two games with 20 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.
