Jacksonville Jaguars DL Maason Smith placed on active/PUP list ahead of training camp
Players are placed on active/PUP ahead of camp for football-related injuries and are unable to participate in practice. However, they can participate in other team activities. The players count against the active roster limit during camp and can be activated from the list at any point during camp if they are medically cleared.
In addition to Smith, the team placed linebacker Dennis Gardeck on the team's active/PUP list over the weekend. Gardeck was signed as an unrestricted free agent earlier this spring. He sustained a late-season knee injury (ACL) last year as a member of the Arizona Cardinals.
ROOKIES REPORT: Jaguars rookies report training camp. What to watch from Travis Hunter, others
The news came hours after the team's veterans reported for camp. The Jaguars are set to hit the practice fields on Wednesday, May 23. Jaguars rookies reported for camp over the weekend.
Smith, drafted in the second round in 2024, is expected to have a major role with the team this season and moving forward. Smith had a shaky start to his rookie campaign. He was a healthy scratch in Week 2 and was sidelined for five other contests in part due to a lingering ankle injury.
When he returned, Smith played with more consistency. He totaled two sacks, 12 tackles, three quarterback hits and two pass breakups in six games. Smith played in 11 total games (five starts), accounting for 17 tackles, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and three sacks.

'Lawal looked like Beckham'
Stoke City manager Mark Robins said Bosun Lawal could feature in a number of positions during the upcoming Championship campaign after an injury-hit debut season with the side. The Irishman joined the Potters in August 2024 but was sidelined for much of the season with a back injury, playing just seven Championship games. But the versatile Lawal, who can play in defence or midfield, is keen to make a bigger impact this campaign and his performances in pre-season are certainly catching the eye of his boss. "There's bits and pieces where [Lawal] looks fantastic at times," Robins told BBC Radio Stoke following the 1-1 friendly draw with Premier League side Wolves on Saturday. "His feet are brilliant. He looked like [David] Beckham, coming out with the ball as well. "He can play anywhere with the feet that he's got. They are quite soft and he's got a really good touch. He can finish, as you saw on Wednesday evening [when he scored in the 2-1 victory over Crewe Alexandra]. "He's worked his socks off this pre-season and gives himself every chance. His build and his qualities make him a welcome addition to the squad." Listen to the full post-match interview with Mark Robins and more on BBC Sounds.
