The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a significant change to their quarterback lineup for the 2026 season by trading for Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins. This move comes as the Jaguars finalize their 53-man roster, which retained Ewers while releasing Nick Mullens, who has since joined the practice squad.

Trevor Lawrence remains the starting quarterback for the Jaguars, following a strong performance in the 2025 season where he passed for 4,007 yards and achieved a career-high of 29 touchdowns. As the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lawrence has surpassed 4,000 passing yards in three of his first five seasons in the league.

Further details regarding the trade and Ewers' potential impact on the team have not yet been disclosed.
