Jaguars Place LB Dennis Gardeck on Active/PUP List

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed linebacker Dennis Gardeck on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he continues to recover from an ACL injury sustained last October while playing for the Arizona Cardinals. Gardeck, who signed with the Jaguars in June 2025, can return to the roster once he passes his physical and is medically cleared to practice. Throughout his seven seasons with the Cardinals, Gardeck has been a versatile player, contributing as a pass rusher, linebacker, and key special teams captain, known for his disruptive style and leadership. Despite being undrafted out of Sioux Falls in 2018, he earned multiple contract extensions with Arizona, demonstrating his value as a rotational player. In 2024, Gardeck recorded solid defensive stats including tackles, sacks, and an interception, highlighting his ability to impact the game. Jacksonville's coaching staff values his unique skill set and expects him to add depth and flexibility to their defense once fully healthy.
