The Jacksonville Jaguars are riding high after their stunning 19-17 Week 5 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Heading into their upcoming game against the Houston Texans, the Jaguars have news regarding Kaevon Merriweather and Christian Braswell.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Jaguars are signing Merriweather to their 53-man roster.
"The #Jaguars are signing safety and special teamer Kaevon Merriweather to their 53-man roster from their practice squad, source says," Rapoport wrote on Tuesday, October 13th, 2026.

On October 6th, the Jaguars waived Braswell with an "injury designation." Because of this, it's not surprising that the 27-year-old cornerback has gone unclaimed.
Braswell last appeared on the injury report in Week 4 vs. the Cincinnati Bengals . His knee injury kept him questionable for the game, and he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday leading up to it.

Merriweather is on a bargain contract for the Jaguars.
After the Texans waived him on August 30, he signed a one-year, $330,300 contract on September 1 to join the Jaguars' practice squad.
Merriweather played for the Jaguars in Week 5, recording a solo tackle.
Merriweather is going to have his hands full, as he will have to tangle with the Texans' newly acquired WR, Marvin Harrison Jr.
