​Between now and training camp, we’ll be dissecting the Jacksonville Jaguars’ full 90-man roster, offering a preview of each player along the way. Up next is safety Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, who wears number 42. He stands 5-10 and weighs 185 pounds, is 23 years old, and is entering his second NFL season after playing college football at Colorado. The Jaguars signed Silmon-Craig as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft.
Silmon-Craig spent his rookie season on the Jaguars’ practice squad but did see action in three games thanks to game-day elevations. In those appearances, he logged 12 snaps on special teams, primarily working with the field goal block unit. On defense, Silmon-Craig recorded 21 total snaps in matchups against Tennessee and Indianapolis. According to Pro Football Focus, he delivered two solo tackles and allowed one reception for 12 yards while lining up mostly at free safety.
At this stage, Silmon-Craig appears to be facing a steep uphill climb to secure a spot on the Jaguars’ 2025 roster as a safety. The edge on the depth chart seems to lean toward veterans and established contributors. Eric Murray and Antonio Johnson are the presumptive starters, while Caleb Ransaw could slot into the third safety role, a position that still sees steady reps within Anthony Campanile’s defensive scheme. Additionally, Jalen Huskey, a third-round pick in the current draft, could contribute on special teams right away, and Rayuan Lane stood out as a core special teams contributor as a rookie.
With those players in the mix, five roster spots are effectively spoken for at the safety position, which aligns with the usual number of safeties teams carry on the 53-man roster. That configuration leaves Silmon-Craig competing primarily for a spot on the practice squad, though there is always a possibility he could earn a role if he impresses during offseason workouts, mini-camps, and preseason game action.
This analysis comes from Jaguars Wire’s roster exploration, which examines how Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig might fit within a crowded safety room. If you’re following the Jaguars’ roster movement and want to understand the potential path for Silmon-Craig, you’ll want to monitor how he progresses through organized team activities, the mandatory minicamp, and the overall preseason competition. The evaluation will weigh his versatility, special-teams value, and how well he can adapt to the Jaguars’ defensive scheme under Anthony Campanile, as well as how he stacks up against the depth chart at safety as training camp approaches.
