The Jacksonville Jaguars signed safety Kaevon Merriweather to the active roster from the practice squad as part of three roster moves announced Oct. 13. The team also signed long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer to the practice squad and placed offensive lineman Anton Harrison on the Reserve/Injured list.
Merriweather was elevated to the active roster in Week 5 and recorded one tackle. The 26-year-old is listed on Jacksonville’s 2026 active roster as the No. 26 safety at 6 feet, 0 inches and 207 pounds. He attended Iowa and originally signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 draft.
Merriweather brings NFL experience to Jacksonville
Merriweather spent the 2025 season with Tampa Bay for 12 games and Houston for one game. He totaled 11 tackles, including one tackle for loss, and forced a safety during that season. Merriweather has played in 43 career games, including seven starts, with 49 tackles, 20 solo tackles, two passes defended and one tackle for loss.
His promotion moves Merriweather from Jacksonville’s practice squad to its active roster. The transaction follows his Week 5 elevation, when he recorded a tackle for the Jaguars. Merriweather is listed among the team’s active-roster safeties for the 2026 season.
Jacob Bobenmoyer joins practice squad
Bobenmoyer originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He has appeared in 97 games with the Broncos from 2020 through 2022 and the Raiders from 2023 through 2025. His career totals include 22 special teams tackles and one fumble recovery.
The 29-year-old long snapper is a native of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He attended Northern Colorado from 2015 through 2018, where he played linebacker and long snapper. His 22 special teams tackles trail Ross Matiscik’s 25 among long snappers since both players entered the NFL in 2020.
Anton Harrison placed on Reserve/Injured list
Jacksonville placed Harrison on the Reserve/Injured list in the same series of moves. The announcement identifies Harrison as an offensive lineman. The supplied material does not provide additional details about the move.
The transactions affect Jacksonville’s roster at safety, long snapper and offensive line. Merriweather moves to the active roster, Bobenmoyer joins the practice squad and Harrison moves to Reserve/Injured. The Jaguars listed Merriweather as No. 26 on their 2026 active roster.
FSB Take
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ moves change the roster status of three players while adding experience at safety and long snapper. Merriweather brings 43 career games to the active roster after his Week 5 elevation and one tackle. Bobenmoyer joins the practice squad after appearing in 97 NFL games, while Harrison’s placement on Reserve/Injured alters the team’s offensive-line personnel.
