Jaguars' Patrick Mekari: Starting season on IR
The Jaguars placed Mekari (back) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday.
Mekari will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, meaning Week 5 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest he can play. The California product is recovering from back surgery that he underwent in mid-August. Ezra Cleveland is in line to start at right guard for as long as Mekari is out of action.

Mekari underwent a procedure on his back and will miss some time, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Mekari is expected to play this season, and the Jaguars have yet to decide if he will begin the campaign on injured reserve. The 29-year-old was set to operate as Jacksonville's starting right guard in 2026, and in his absence, rookie third-rounder Emmanuel Pregnon and second-year pro Wyatt Milum are the top candidates to take over that role for the time being.

Jaguars' Patrick Mekari: Salary converted to signing bonus
Mekari (back) had $9.2 million of his salary converted to a signing bonus by the Jaguars on Friday, Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac reports.
The 28-year-old exited the Jaguars' wild-card round loss to the Bills due to a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. By converting $9.2 million of Mekari's salary to a signing bonus, Jacksonville added three void years to his contract and cleared roughly $7.36 million in cap space ahead of the 2026 season. The California product is expected to remain an integral part of the Jaguars' offensive line next year.
