The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced the health of Cornerback Tyson Campbell, who has been activated from IR, along with several other roster transactions. Campbell, injured during the Miami Dolphins loss, is expected to return against the New England Patriots. Cornerback Montaric Brown has performed well in his absence. It's unclear if Campbell's return would relegate Brown back to the bench or if his recent performance has earned him more snaps over CB Ronald Darby.

The team took a conservative approach to Campbell's hamstring recovery, signing a four-year, $76.5M contract extension with $53.4M guaranteed on July 23rd, despite Campbell's five-week IR stint. The Jacksonville secondary has struggled in the first six weeks of the season, ranking last in passing yards allowed, touchdowns allowed, and passes intercepted. Although it's unlikely that Campbell will turn the team into a top pass defense unit, the team's performance has only improved, indicating a need for improvement.

Campbell was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft and signed a four-year rookie contract. He appeared in 15 games, starting 14 and completing 73 tackles, two interceptions, and ten passes defensed. In the 2022 season, he started all 17 regular season games and both playoff games, averaging 70 tackles, three interceptions, 15 passes defensed, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. In Week 1, he recorded his first interception of the season. In July 2024, he signed a four-year, $76.5 million extension with the Jaguars.
