Jaguars elevate Jacob Bobenmoyer and Jabbar Muhammad for Texans game

The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated long-snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer and cornerback Jabbar Muhammad from their practice squad on October 17 for their Week 6 game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, October 18. The moves give Jacksonville a long-snapper with Ross Matiscik ruled out and add depth at cornerback, Jaguars Wire reported.

The Jaguars described both moves as standard practice squad elevations in a team announcement reproduced by Jaguars Wire. Bobenmoyer joined the practice squad earlier in the week while Matiscik dealt with a shoulder injury. Matiscik did not practice during the week and was ruled out on Friday, according to Jaguars Wire.

Why Jacksonville elevated Jabbar Muhammad

Under the elevation limit described by Jaguars Wire, Jacksonville would have to sign Muhammad to its 53-man roster to make him available for another game this season. Bobenmoyer has played in 97 career games, including full 17-game seasons in four of the past five years, the outlet reported.

Houston’s Week 6 roster moves

The Texans also adjusted their roster before the game. In its October 17 transaction notice, Houston said it activated safety Ja’Marcus Ingram and linebacker Henry To’oTo’o, and elevated cornerback Bryce Hall and running back Jawhar Jordan from the practice squad for Week 6. It waived linebacker Aiden Fisher and cornerback Collin Wright.

Heavy reported that Houston starter David Montgomery was out with a groin injury, leaving Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale among the team’s running back options alongside the elevated Jordan. Heavy also reported that Hall played on special teams against Tennessee in Week 5 and had one tackle. Hall’s elevation for the Jaguars game is his second this season, according to the outlet.

Houston’s six transactions were listed in the Texans’ official notice. Jacksonville’s two elevations were announced separately by the Jaguars ahead of the same Week 6 matchup, as reported by Jaguars Wire.
