Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Jacksonville Jaguars’ full 90-man roster, previewing each player.
Up next is running back DeeJay Dallas, who wears No. 20.

How long has DeeJay Dallas been with the Jaguars?
Dallas was signed to the Jaguars’ 53-man roster in December of last season, when Bhayshul Tuten was working through an injury. He had appeared in three games with Carolina prior to that point.
Dallas was initially drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2020 NFL Draft, where he remained until 2024, when he signed with the Arizona Cardinals.
Recapping DeeJay Dallas’ 2025 season
Through his career, Dallas has primarily been a contributor on special teams, and in his three games with the Jaguars in 2025, the same applied. He returned six kickoff attempts, averaging 30.0 yards per return, and had two carries on offense for 21 yards with Jacksonville.
Before that, Dallas had six kick return attempts with Carolina, averaging 23.5 yards per attempt. He spent most of his time in Carolina on the practice squad.
Looking ahead to 2026 for DeeJay Dallas
The Jaguars’ running back room already has three locks: Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen, and Chris Rodriguez. Last season, Jacksonville often rostered four running backs, and if the team does so again, it could give Dallas an opening to make the final 53-man roster. He has proven to be an asset on special teams, which could help put him above the team’s other RBs on the bubble.
