Goes back to practice squad Mullens did not play during Sunday's 20-13 loss at Denver.

Impact Mullens would have been the next man up after starter Trevor Lawrence with Quinn Evers inactive, but the Jaguars didn't have to call his number in Week 2. Jacksonville can elevate him once more this year before he'd need to be signed to their 53-man roster to be eligible to play.

Elevated to active roster once again The Jaguars elevated Mullens to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact Mullens was elevated for the Jaguars' Week 1 win over the Browns last Sunday. The quarterback took seven offensive snaps for the team in the fourth quarter, once the game was all but over. The 31-year-old veteran is set to play the backup role to Trevor Lawrence again and should only enter the game if Lawrence goes down or the team gets to garbage time.

Reverts to Jacksonville's practice squad Mullens reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Elevated for Week 1 The Jaguars elevated Mullens from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Mullens will likely serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback if Trevor Lawrence and Quinn Ewers both go down in Sunday's game against the Browns. Mullens will only be eligible for two more practice squad elevations this regular season, so this is not a role the quarterback can fill perpetually.

Signs with practice squad The Jaguars signed Mullens to the practice squad Monday.

Impact The Jaguars released Mullens during Sunday's cutdown day. The quarterback participated in all three preseason games for the team, completing 14 of his 21 pass attempts for 160 yards and an interception. Mullens may be elevated for a contest if Trevor Lawrence or Quinn Ewers must miss time due to injury.

Cut by Jaguars Jacksonville released Mullens on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mullens appeared set to work as Trevor Lawrence's backup this season, but that changed when the Jaguars traded with Miami for Quinn Ewers on Sunday. Mullens has extensive NFL experience -- including 20 career regular-season starts -- so he could be an attractive option for another team looking to fill out its QB room with a veteran signal-caller.

AUGUST 22 • SI.COM

Sharp in Friday's start Mullens completed six of seven passes for 65 yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers.

Impact The Jaguars rested their starters in this one, so Mullens was under center for the first quarter and led the offense on one field-goal drive in two possessions before turning things over to Carter Bradley. Mullens figures to be the No. 2 quarterback this year behind Trevor Lawrence, a role that may not require him to see much action -- Lawrence has played all 17 regular-season games in three of his five NFL seasons.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice Mullens (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Jamal St. Cyr of News4JAX reports.

Impact Mullens participated in 11-on-11 drills during Tuesday's session. The veteran quarterback went 3-for-7 for 33 yards and an interception in last Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints. Mullens' health means he is likely available to check into Friday's contest against the Panthers once Trevor Lawrence's potential snaps are done. After last Saturday's performance, however, coach Liam Cohen might decide to give Carter Bradley or Joey Aguilar the bulk of the second-team snaps.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question this week Mullens (undisclosed) is unlikely to return to practice this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Liam Coen provided the update on Mullens on Monday, and now it appears that the vet may not be available for the Jaguars' second preseason game set for Friday against the Panthers. Mullens went 3-for-7 for 33 yards and an interception in the preseason opener against the Saints. A Mullens absence would open more reps for Carter Bradley and Joey Aguilar.
