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](/2025/7/22/24472591/maason-smith-sidelined-jaguars-add-2nd-player-to-pup-this-week) 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.
