The Ewers trade raises immediate questions about Nick Mullens' standing in the Jaguars quarterback room. Mullens had a reasonably strong preseason, notably completing 6 of 7 attempts for 65 yards (9.3 yards-per-reception) in Week 2 against Carolina and going 5 of 7 for 62 yards in Week 3. However, his practice performances were less consistent, with multiple days of the second team offense struggling to move the ball. The source notes that whether Mullens retains the No. 2 spot, slides to No. 3 behind Ewers, or becomes a surprise casualty of the trade will be determined when Jacksonville finalizes its 53-man roster.

The Ewers trade raises immediate questions about Nick Mullens' standing in the Jacksonville quarterback room heading into the season; Mullens had a reasonably strong preseason, notably completing 6 of his first 7 attempts for 65 yards (9.3 yards-per-reception) in Week 2 against Carolina and going 5 of 7 for 62 yards in Week 3; whether he retains the No. 2 spot, slides to No. 3 behind Ewers, or becomes a surprise casualty of the trade will be answered when Jacksonville finalizes their 53-man roster.

Backup quarterback did not flash on television in preseason Week 3, though camp reports were fine; the source identifies the QB2 position as 'a nitpick area of concern for the Jags' and notes 'Mullens didn't exactly flash on TV' but hopes 'if he's ever needed facing live game action, he turns to that version of himself' from camp. The source emphasizes Trevor Lawrence's health is paramount: 'This franchise goes by the way of Lawrence anyway so if Mullens, or really anybody else, is in it's probably over regardless.'

Mullens delivered an encouraging preseason performance in Week 2, completing 6 of 7 attempts for 65 yards (9.3 yards-per-attempt average) through the first half against the Panthers' starting defense. The source notes his improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 in early-drive efficiency was notable: zero turnovers, red-zone efficiency, and leading the offense to a quality bounce-back outcome. He found a working partnership with rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams, distributing the ball efficiently and giving both meaningful opportunities.

Mullens was arguably the most encouraging story of the preseason game through the first half, completing six of his first seven attempts for 65 yards with a 9.3 yards-per-reception average; his improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 in early-drive efficiency was notable with zero turnovers, red-zone efficiency, and quality performance against much of the Panthers' starting defense, establishing a working partnership with rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams.

Backup quarterback had a day to forget on Saturday, following an offseason of fan and media discontent with the Jacksonville backup quarterback role. As a backup quarterback, Mullens' primary role on the team is to be an asset to the quarterback room in learning the playbook, while leveraging his experience and knowledge of the system to protect the football and keep the wheels from falling off. Mullens consistently struggled to hit open receivers, throwing an early red zone interception where Josh Cameron looked to be wide open on the play. Mullens seemed not to notice the underneath defender on the play, both underthrowing the attempt and placing it behind the intended receiver. He later took a third-down sack, where it seemed the veteran quarterback struggled to pull the trigger on the available options. Final line: red-zone interception, a sack given up, 3/7 for 33 yards (17.9 passer rating) against primarily Saints' backups.

The source notes this was not the kind of preseason opener Nick Mullens needed, following an offseason of fan and media discontent with the Jacksonville backup quarterback role. Mullens consistently struggled to hit open receivers, throwing an early red zone interception where Josh Cameron looked to be wide open on the play; Mullens seemed not to notice the underneath defender, both underthrowing the attempt and placing it behind the intended receiver. He later took a third-down sack where the veteran quarterback struggled to pull the trigger on available options. His stat line: 3/7 for 33 yards (17.9 passer rating) against primarily Saints' backups. The biggest concern isn't simply that Mullens had a bad preseason game; it's that the Jaguars and their fans need to know they can survive if Lawrence misses time. One ugly August afternoon doesn't erase his experience or previous work in the offense, but it certainly doesn't help his case for patience or trust.
