Ewers Lands with Jags, Backs Up Lawrence
29 Aug
Summary
- Ewers joins Jaguars as insurance behind Trevor Lawrence.
- He suffered a groin injury in August 2026 preseason game.
- Miami's quarterback depth is now limited after the move.
Jacksonville has acquired quarterback Ewers, positioning him as a key insurance player behind starter Trevor Lawrence. This acquisition comes after Ewers experienced a groin injury during Miami's opening preseason game against the Commanders on August 14, 2026. The injury impacted his performance, leading to a 1 of 8 passing stat line with an interception.
Despite missing subsequent preseason games, Ewers had previously started the final three games for Miami in the previous year. This period was seen as a potential audition for the team's future quarterback role. His record as a starter was 1-2 with 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions.
The arrival of Ewers in Jacksonville raises questions about the roles of current quarterbacks Nick Mullens, Carter Bradley, and Joey Aguilar. Meanwhile, Miami's quarterback situation is now leaner, with Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski as the primary backups behind starter Malik Willis.
