Jacksonville Jaguars roster cuts tracker: Live updates and analysis -updated 8/27

The Jacksonville Jaguars have their work cut out. Following an encouraging 3-0 preseason, they'll need to trim down their roster to 53 players by 4:00 p.m. ET on cutdown day. This year, it's August 27. This will be a difficult task when you take into account that this is the deepest Jags team head coach Doug Pederson has been on since taking over in 2022.

Of course, general manager Trent Baalke has control over roster decisions but he'll work in unison with Pederson to ensure Jacksonville ends with the best 53 players. Franchise cornerstones such as Trevor Lawrence, pass rusher Josh Hines-Allen and cornerback Tyson Campbell don't have to sweat about earning a spot.

On the other hand, there are several players on the bottom half of the depth chart who will give the team's brass several tough decisions to make. Jacksonville's stacked at wide receiver, linebacker, safety, and the interior defensive line.

This in turn will lead the team to move on from players they would like to keep. Then again, that's not necessarily a bad thing. As Pederson recently told the media, if the Jaguars are cutting ties with a good player, that means that they're keeping an even better one. Moreover, they'll get the chance to stash a few of them in the practice squad if they clear waivers.

With this in mind, here's a look at the the cuts the Jaguars are making ahead of roster cutdown day.

Not long after Tom Pelissero reported that the Jags had parted ways with Denzel Mims, they confirmed his release and announced other moves on their public relations Twitter account.

The team waived defensive end Raymond Johnson, defensive tackle Jonathan Marshall, linebacker Andrew Parker Jr., wide receiver Joseph Scates, defensive end Breeland Speaks, and wide receiver Seth Williams. They also released cornerback Tevaughn Campbell, tight end Chris Myarick, and offensive lineman Keaton Sutherlan.

The Jaguars waive Denzel Mims on August 25

Following the win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Jags moved on from Denzel Mims. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media first reported the move. Mims was on the outside looking in and faced an uphill battle to earn a roster spot. The former Baylor Golden Bear finished the preseason with just one catch for seven yards. The fact that he didn't contribute on special teams ended up sealing his fate.

The Jaguars signed EJ Perry on August 21

C.J. Beathard suffered a groin injury in Week 2 of the preseason. It's hard to tell how much time he'll miss but the team's brass signed quarterback E.J. Perry to fill the void left by his absence. The Brown product attempted two passes for four yards in the preseason finale.

The Jaguars waive WR Brevin Easton on August 20

This one didn't come as a surprise. With several options at wide receiver, the Jags waived Brevin Easton before the preseason finale. He was a long shot to make the team and moving on from him allowed the Jaguars' brass to better asses the position.
