Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Back on field for camp
McLeod (ankle) is participating at the Jaguars' training camp, Corey Perrine of The Florida Times-Union reports.
McLeod was unable to make his NFL debut in 2025 due to injury, but it looks like he's starting 2026 with a clean slate. Before suiting up for any regular-season action, he'll have to earn a spot on the 53-man roster among competition like Branson Combs and Yasir Abdullah.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Will remain on IR
McLeod's (ankle) practice window has expired, so he will remain on injured reserve through the end of the season.
McLeod was designated to return from IR in mid December, with the Jaguars hoping to acquire more linebacker depth in time for a potential deep playoff run. The team seems to have decided McLeod is not ready to return, and the sixth-round rookie will need to look towards the 2026 season for a potential NFL debut. The Jaguars will enter Sunday's wild-card clash with the Bills with Foyesade Oluokun, Dennis Gardeck, Branson Combs and Yasir Abdullah set to play at outside linebacker.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Out for Week 18
McLeod (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
McLeod remains on injured reserve but had his 21-day practice window opened 17 days ago, meaning the Jaguars will need to make a decision on McLeod by early next week. The sixth-round rookie linebacker has yet to appear in a regular-season game this season after being placed on injured reserve Aug. 27.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Designated for return from IR
The Jaguars designated McLeod (lower body) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
The move opens McLeod's 21-day practice window, giving him a maximum of three weeks of practice before the team needs to decide whether to activate McLeod. The sixth-round rookie has yet to appear in a game this season after he was injured over the summer.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Placed on IR, designated to return
McLeod (lower body) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday.
McLeod suffered a lower-body injury at practice in early August, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 campaign. In McLeod's absence, Ventrell Miller and Dennis Gardeck may stand to see an increase in workload at outside linebacker.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Dealing with lower-body issue
McLeod is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
McLeod sustained a lower-body injury at practice this week, which could sideline him for Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers. The rookie linebacker will likely have to set his sights on making his debut Aug. 17 versus the Saints.

Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Gets chance in Jacksonville
The Jaguars selected McLeod in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 194th overall.
McCleod transferred to Auburn from Appalachian State for his final two seasons. He started nearly every game at Auburn and recorded 105 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. He has tweener size (6-foot-1, 241 pounds) and his athleticism is likely average at best having not tested at the 2025 NFL Combine. His production is enough to justify this pick alone, however, and he could hold his own on special teams until he earns a rotational defensive role.
