Jaguars Finalize Initial 53-Man Roster For 2021 Season

The Jacksonville Jaguars have finalized their initial 53-man roster for the 2021 season. A bevy of receivers were let go, along with veteran players from the previous regime.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have set their active 53-man roster for the 2021 season. Each NFL roster had to be finalized ahead of the 4pm Tuesday deadline. For the Jaguars, it involved trimming down what had been a bursting wide receiver unit, and even saying goodbye to some veteran players from the past regime. 

The Jaguars are first on the waiver wire order, so this active roster could change as they scour what is available after other teams set their respective rosters as well. 

Any waived player will be eligible for the practice squad if they clear waivers. The practice squad can be set at 16 players this year, including those who have more than two accrued years of experience. 

The club announced the following roster moves as they moved to a 53-man roster.
