Jaguars right guard Patrick Mekari recently underwent a back procedure, and he will miss some time. His prognosis is unclear. NFL Media reports Mekari is expected to play this season but could start on injured reserve, which would mean missing at least the first four games.
Mekari’s Absence Creates Immediate Gaps
If Mekari starts the season on IR, the Jaguars will need a plan at right guard. Wyatt Milum is listed as the second-team right guard, having played only 96 offensive snaps in 2025 as a rookie. Walker Little, who has also seen time at right guard, is currently out with an injury. Jonah Monheim has also seen time at the position.
Jaguars O-Line Seriously Banged Up
The Jaguars are banged up in the offensive line. In addition to Mekari and Little, offensive tackle Chuma Edoga is also out with an injury. Offensive tackle Cole Van Lanen is on the active/PUP list. That’s the state of their offensive front as they head towards the season.
With Mekari’s status unclear and other linemen sidelined, the Jaguars’ offensive line situation is one to watch closely as the season approaches. Their ability to manage these injuries early on will be a key factor.
