The Jacksonville Jaguars made a pair of roster moves on Wednesday, continuing to fine-tune their depth as the season rolls into its final stretch.
Let’s start with veteran defensive lineman Matt Dickerson, who’s officially been signed to the active roster. This move doesn’t come as a surprise-Dickerson had already been elevated from the practice squad for the Jaguars’ last three games, and now he’s earned a permanent spot.
Dickerson brings experience and championship pedigree to a defensive front that’s been grinding through injuries and rotational shifts. The 28-year-old has played in 43 regular-season games across stints with the Titans, Falcons, Chiefs, Dolphins, and now the Jaguars.
While his stats-44 total tackles and three quarterback hits-don’t jump off the page, his value comes from consistency and scheme familiarity. He’s the kind of depth piece that can quietly stabilize a defensive line rotation, especially late in the year when attrition starts to take its toll.
For Jacksonville, adding Dickerson full-time gives them a proven presence who understands the demands of playoff-caliber football. He was part of Kansas City’s Super Bowl-winning squad, and that kind of experience matters in a locker room looking to make a push.
The second move involves wide receiver Austin Trammell, who’s rejoining the Jaguars’ practice squad. Trammell is no stranger to Jacksonville-he’s spent the past two seasons bouncing between the active roster and the practice squad. He’s the kind of utility receiver coaches appreciate: reliable, smart, and ready when called upon.
Across his NFL journey, which includes stops with the Falcons, Rams, and Jaguars, Trammell has appeared in 30 games and totaled 11 receptions for 128 yards. While those numbers are modest, his role isn’t about stats-it’s about being prepared, contributing on special teams, and stepping in when injuries strike.
The Jaguars know what they have in Trammell, and bringing him back into the fold gives them a familiar, dependable option as they navigate the back end of the schedule.
Both moves reflect a team that’s staying proactive, reinforcing depth with players who know the system and can contribute when needed. As Jacksonville eyes a strong finish, having steady veterans like Dickerson and Trammell in the building could prove valuable in the weeks ahead.
