The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that defensive tackle Maason Smith has been activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List.
Smith was initially placed on the PUP List on July 22nd with an undisclosed injury to kick off training camp. He has been working to the side with trainers during practices for the past month and a half, working his way back to the field.
Smith, a second-round pick from the 2024 draft, came on strong towards the end of the 2024 season, racking up 3 sacks and 3 tackles for a loss in the last seven games in which he was active for the Jaguars. Last season he lead all Jaguar defensive tackles with a 9.7% pressure rating and will be a welcome addition back into the room.
