The Jacksonville Jaguars made their third defensive trade of Monday, November 9, agreeing to send a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis.

Jaguars land Jordan Davis

A first and a second for the Eagles’ defensive tackle. Philadelphia announced it had agreed to trade Davis, its 2022 first-round pick out of Georgia, to Jacksonville for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. The Jaguars confirmed they had agreed to terms to acquire him. With Bates, Godchaux and now Davis, Jacksonville rebuilt the middle of its defense in a single day, a day before the deadline.

Jeremy Fowler noted that Davis is owed $18.9 million, $26 million and $26 million from 2027 through 2029, with no signing bonus. Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles have informed teams they are not trading defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who is in the final year of his contract, and counted 10 Philadelphia picks in the first two rounds over the next three drafts. That haul includes the Jaguars’ 2027 first, the Patriots’ 2028 first from the A.J. Brown trade and the Ravens’ 2028 second from the Cam Jurgens deal.

Lions add Andre Cisco

A sixth-round pick for a starting-caliber safety. The Jets announced they had agreed to trade Cisco to Detroit for a 2028 sixth-round pick. Cisco is on an expiring contract. The Lions waived tight end Jackson Meeks to open a roster spot, and the Jets filled theirs by signing linebacker Troy Reeder to the active roster and adding linebacker Mykal Walker to the practice squad.

Aiyuk reinstated with a two-week exemption

The 49ers have until November 23. The league reinstated Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list and granted San Francisco a two-week roster exemption, so he does not count against the 53-man roster until the club makes a move by November 23. That settles the process laid out in our Aiyuk reinstatement explainer.

Monday night moves for Bills at Vikings

Vikings put Claiborne on IR. Minnesota’s corresponding move for promoting Odell Beckham Jr. from the practice squad, first noted in our Week 9 inactives post, was placing running back Demond Claiborne on injured reserve. The club also elevated safety Tavierre Thomas for the game.

Bills place Palmer on IR. Buffalo moved wide receiver Joshua Palmer to injured reserve with a hamstring injury and elevated safety Geno Stone and wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. from the practice squad.

Other Monday moves

Titans swap special-teams linebackers. Tennessee activated linebacker Dorian Mausi from injured reserve, placed linebacker James Williams Sr. on IR, signed linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo to the practice squad after a workout and waived defensive back Derrick Canteen from the practice squad.

Patriots release Arkin. New England released tight end Tanner Arkin from the 53-man roster and linebacker Jose Ramirez from the practice squad.

What comes next

Rams coach Sean McVay said Puka Nacua is likely headed to injured reserve with MCL and PCL sprains in his knee plus turf toe, which would cost him at least four games once the move is filed. Packers running back Josh Jacobs will have surgery on a fractured ring finger, with IR a possibility, and Arizona said receiver Michael Wilson is out for the season with a neck injury. Monday’s injury news is in our Monday injury updates. The trade deadline is Tuesday, November 10, at 4 p.m. ET.
