Five tackles in easy victory

ANALYSIS

Wingard finished second on the team in takedowns behind only linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (10). The safety recorded just 15 total tackles over eight regular-season contests in 2024, but he's stepped into a starting role in 2025, so an increase in production is to be expected.

The 26-year-old also grabbed his first interception of the season, picking off Ryan Tannehill on the first series of the second half.

Rejoins active roster
Wingard (abdomen) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has been on the shelf since suffering the abdominal injury Week 5, but he's ready to retake the field for Jacksonville. Wingard should work as a reserve safety for the Jags, but he could have an increased role with strong safety Josh Jones (groin) landing on injured reserve.

ANALYSIS
Wingard returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the abdominal strain in Week 5 against the Texans.

Oct 12, 2020
Moves to injured reserve

ANALYSIS

Oct 11, 2020
Aggravates injury Sunday
Wingard (core muscle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Wingard dealt with the core muscle issue during practice last week before suiting up in Week 4, and now he appears to have aggravate the injury. As long as Wingard is sidelined, Brandon Watson will handle depth free safety duties behind Jarrod Wilson.
Oct 2, 2020
Catalogues full practice
Wingard (core muscle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Avoids serious injury
Wingard suffered a minor groin pull during Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wingard was ruled out to return to Thursday's contest due to what was initially disclosed as a core muscle injury, but the results his MRI on Friday have eliminated the possibility of a sports hernia.

Sep 24, 2020
Done for night
Wingard was ruled out of the remainder of Thursday's game against Miami with a core muscle injury.
ANALYSIS
Wingard's absence will leave the team thin at safety going forward, as Brandon Watson is the only healthy free safety dressed Thursday. Watson will step in as the starter Thursday, and Wingard will have an extra few days to recover before his team is back out there in Week 4 against Cincinnati.
Aug 4, 2020
Off of COVID list
The Jaguars activated Wingard (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Along with teammates (and roommates) Gardner Minshew and Michael Walker, Wingard found himself on the COVID list due to recent exposure to someone who tested positive for the virus. With his health not in question, Wingard can focus on locking down his roles as a depth safety and on special teams from a year ago.
Aug 2, 2020
On to COVID list
The Jaguars placed Wingard (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Undrafted out of Wyoming last season, Wingard played significant snaps Weeks 12-14 for an injured Ronnie Harrison but otherwise was almost exclusively a special-teamer. Overall, he finished with 30 tackles (22 solo), one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games. As the Jags kick off camp, Wingard will have to wait until he passes the required tests before he can join his teammates.
Jan 29, 2020
Solid rookie campaign
Wingard had 30 tackles (22 solo), one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games this season.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie from Wyoming received two spot starts in place of an injured Ronnie Harrison in Weeks 13 and 14, but he otherwise primary played special teams. Both Jacksonville's starting safeties -- Harrison and Jarrod Wilson -- remain under contract for 2020, leaving Wingard in position to retain his reserve role.
