# John Shipley: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. **Claimed:** Aug 31, 2026 **Pundit:** John Shipley — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/john-shipley **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/onsi/jacksonville-projecting-2026-practice-squad-who-will-they-get-back 17 checkable claims — 17 roster spot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 17 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So with that in mind, here is our best guess at what a Jaguars practice squad could look like. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jack Kiser to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jack Kiser, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Michael Wortham to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Michael Wortham, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **T.J.
