Placed on IR, designated to return
McLeod (lower body) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
McLeod suffered a lower-body injury at practice in early August, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 campaign. In McLeod's absence, Ventrell Miller and Dennis Gardeck may stand to see an increase in workload at outside linebacker.

Dealing with lower-body issue
McLeod (lower body) is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
McLeod sustained a lower-body injury at practice this week, which could sideline him for Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers. The rookie linebacker will likely have to set his sights on making his debut Aug. 17 versus the Saints.

Gets chance in Jacksonville
The Jaguars selected McLeod in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 194th overall.
ANALYSIS
McCleod transferred to Auburn from Appalachian State for his final two seasons. He started nearly every game at Auburn and recorded 105 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. He has tweener size (6-foot-1, 241 pounds) and his athleticism is likely average at best having not tested at the 2025 NFL Combine. His production is enough to justify this pick alone, however, and he could hold his own on special teams until he earns a rotational defensive role.
