McLeod's (ankle) practice window has expired, so he will remain on injured reserve through the end of the season.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod was designated to return from IR in mid December, with the Jaguars hoping to acquire more linebacker depth in time for a potential deep playoff run. The team seems to have decided McLeod is not ready to return, and the sixth-round rookie will need to look towards the 2026 season for a potential NFL debut. The Jaguars will enter Sunday's wild-card clash with the Bills with Foyesade Oluokun, Dennis Gardeck, Branson Combs and Yasir Abdullah set to play at outside linebacker.

McLeod (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod remains on injured reserve but had his 21-day practice window opened 17 days ago, meaning the Jaguars will need to make a decision on McLeod by early next week. The sixth-round rookie linebacker has yet to appear in a regular-season game this season after being placed on injured reserve Aug. 27.

The Jaguars designated McLeod (lower body) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move opens McLeod's 21-day practice window, giving him a maximum of three weeks of practice before the team needs to decide whether to activate McLeod. The sixth-round rookie has yet to appear in a game this season after he was injured over the summer.

McLeod (lower body) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod suffered a lower-body injury at practice in early August, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 campaign. In McLeod's absence, Ventrell Miller and Dennis Gardeck may stand to see an increase in workload at outside linebacker.

McLeod (lower body) is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod sustained a lower-body injury at practice this week, which could sideline him for Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers. The rookie linebacker will likely have to set his sights on making his debut Aug. 17 versus the Saints.
