JAC Quinn Ewers
NFL player. Position: QB. Team: JAC.
Quick Facts
- Position: QB
- Team: JAC (Jacksonville Jaguars)
- Bye week (2026): 7
2026 Outlook
Traded to Jacksonville on Aug 29 to serve as backup QB behind starter Trevor Lawrence. Ewers was acquired by the Jaguars along with a day-three draft pick swap with Miami. He suffered a groin injury in Miami's opening preseason game vs. Washington (Aug 14), which limited his availability. In his limited action with Miami, he went 1-8 passing for 27 yards with 1 interception, then missed the next two preseason games.
Ewers provides depth and insurance for the Jaguars after the team's strong 2025 finish under coach Liam Coen. His fantasy upside remains minimal as a backup unless Trevor Lawrence suffers injury. The Jaguars' move suggests confidence in Lawrence's health and stability in the system. 2025 rookie line: 4 games, 3 starts, 622 yards, 3 TDs, 3 INTs.
