Mekari Stays Start Despite Injury | Jacksonville Jaguars News

The Jaguars’ first unofficial depth chart surprises fans by keeping Patrick Mekari as the starting right guard despite his back injury and shaky 2023 performance. Signed to a $37.5M deal in 2025, Mekari’s transition from left guard hasn’t gone smoothly — he surrendered pressure and struggled with run-blocking. With key linemen like Van Lanen and Pregnon sidelined, backups Wyatt Milum and Walker Little are getting reps. While this chart is far from final, Mekari’s hold on the spot signals coach confidence — but expect shifts as injuries heal and training camp progresses.
