The Jaguars have begun trimming their roster to 53 players. Their first move came via a trade with the Eagles. Here's what to know about cut-down day.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are shipping veteran offensive tackle Fred Johnson back to the Philadelphia Eagles. NFL insider Adam Schefter dropped the news Sunday evening that the Jags – who signed Johnson from the Eagles this offseason to a 1-year $1.33 million deal – are trading him back to Philly for a 2026 seventh-round pick.

The immediate winner from the Jaguars' trading Johnson is veteran backup offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen. Van Lanen was adored by the last staff thanks to his development over the years, and the reviews from the new regime had been just as positive until Van Lanen went down with an injury early on in training camp.
