Jaguars' Roster Hopefuls Vie for Final Preseason Spots
23 Aug
Summary
- Linebacker Chad Muma fighting for roster spot amid deep position group
- Jordan Jefferson on the "outside looking in" after strong 2024 season
- Trenton Irwin making plays to secure spot in Jaguars' WR room

With the Jacksonville Jaguars' final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins just days away, several non-starters are vying for a spot on the 53-man roster. Among them are linebacker Chad Muma, defensive back Jordan Jefferson, and wide receiver Trenton Irwin.
Muma has been a valuable depth player for the Jaguars, but faces an uphill battle due to the team's deep linebacker corps. He will need a standout performance on Saturday to earn a secure roster spot after a strong summer and the emergence of rookie Jack Kiser.
Expectations were high for Jefferson last season when he emerged as a valuable run defender, but with added depth on the roster, he now appears to be on the outside looking in. However, a standout showing in the final preseason game could help his chances of making the team.
Meanwhile, Trenton Irwin has impressed with his reliable hands and playmaking ability during the preseason. While not an official lock for the Jaguars' wide receiver room, he has done enough to be considered a key part of the unit should he make the final roster.
As the Jaguars prepare for their final tune-up before the regular season, these three players will be among those looking to make a lasting impression and secure their place on the team.
