Kaevon Merriweather: Jaguars signing safety to active roster

THE FACT. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that Jacksonville is signing safety Kaevon Merriweather to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, and Pro Football Talk carried the same report; the Jaguars, who are in England this week, had not announced it. Pro Football Talk noted Merriweather played 34 percent of the defensive snaps and 44 percent of special-teams snaps in Sunday's win over the Eagles, finishing with one tackle.
THE VERDICT. IDP: watchlist, not an add. One tackle on a third of the defensive snaps is not a startable rate, and a promotion off the practice squad does not change that by itself. Redraft and DFS: no impact. Revisit if his defensive snap share climbs toward full-time work. Treat this as reported until Jacksonville confirms it.
