EDGE Analysis

Mekari was sidelined for Jacksonville's Week 13 win over the Titans due to a concussion. He logged a full practice both Thursday and Friday and will be ready to take back his starting role at right guard in a key AFC South matchup Sunday.

Mekari (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari suffered a concussion Nov. 28 and was unable to play in last Sunday's win over the Titans. The starting right guard upgraded to a full participant Thursday, and seems to be ready to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Colts. With Chuma Edoga (calf) and Walker Little (concussion) both questionable, Mekari's presence back on the field will be a strong boost to the Jaguars' offensive line.

Mekari (concussion) has been ruled out for Jacksonville's matchup versus the Titans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari is currently in the league's concussion protocol and will have to clear it before he can make his return. In his absence, Wyatt Milum should get the start at right guard, as Chuma Edoga (calf) is out as well.

Mekari (lower back) was an active participant at the Jaguars' practice Sunday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari was dealing with back spasms throughout the week, forcing him to miss a series of practices as a result. The offensive lineman was back in action Sunday, and he will likely be available to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers, if needed.

Mekari (lower back) is not expected to miss an extended period of time, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari left practice early last week and is yet to return to the field, but head coach Liam Coen said the offensive lineman isn't dealing with anything serious. The 27-year-old signed a three-year deal with Jacksonville in March after spending the first six years of his career in Baltimore and starting all 17 regular-season games in 2024. Mekari is set to play a big role in the interior of the offensive line, and the Jaguars are therefore not rushing him back on the field at this stage of camp.

Mekari is in line to sign with the Jaguars on a three-year, $37.5 million contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari moves on from Baltimore to begin protecting Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, and his arrival helps fill a hole along the interior O-line. The 27-year-old guard has missed only one regular-season game over the past three years.

Mekari will start Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Andrew Vorhees (ankle) sidelined again, Mekari will draw a second straight start at left guard.

Mekari (chest) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Mekari left the game during Ravens' Week 5 loss to the Steelers with a chest injury, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 26-year-old was filling in for Morgan Moses when he suffered his injury, and he'll likely go back to being a rotational lineman for Baltimore going forward.
