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 (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.

Mekari (chest) has exited Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Mekari (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Mekari originally carried a questionable tag into this weekend's matchup versus Pittsburgh with an apparent toe injury, but he's since been medically cleared for game action. With Kevin Zeitler (knee) ruled out against the Steelers, it's possible that Mekari's number could be called upon at some point this afternoon.

Mekari (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Mekari suffered a foot injury in Baltimore's Week 13 loss to the Broncos. He managed to return to the game and practiced in full Friday. That's a good sign for his availability Sunday, but he'll officially be listed as questionable.

Mekari (foot) returned during the first half of Sunday's contest versus Denver, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-year offensive lineman quickly returned after exiting with a foot injury in the first quarter. With Ronnie Stanley (ankle) inactive, Mekari should reprise his spot at left tackle for the remainder of the game.

Mekari (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old started at left tackle Sunday with Ronnie Stanley (ankle) ruled inactive for the second game in a row. In Mekari's absence, either Ben Cleveland or Daniel Faalele will likely step in versus Denver.
