The Jacksonville Jaguars plan on bringing back all the players from this season's offensive line, according to the team's general manager.

And all means all, including Walker Little.

"Right now, we are in a position where everybody that played for us on the offensive line this season is coming back next season," GM James Gladstone told reporters at the team's end-of-season press conference on Tuesday. 

Little was sidelined for three games this season with a concussion. When the left tackle returned to the field, it was at guard -- not as starter at the position he had manned throughout 2025 and for much of the 2024 season.

Cole Van Lanen, who had been a super-sub, coming off the bench to fill in -- more than adequately in four of the five positions, but especially at left tackle. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder started at blindside tackle for the last five games of the regular season.

The team rewarded Van Lanen with a three-year, $51 million extension on Jan. 2. 

Pointed questions from reporters about Little's status as part of the starting five and coaches' careful responses in the latter part of the season cast doubt on his future in Jacksonville.

But no longer. 

Gladstone said keeping this group together now is a "necessity."

"The continuity at that position group in particular is one that makes more sense than any other," Gladstone said. "It's never one individual that tilts the scale there as much as it is just the collective effort as a whole."

While the Jags expect to keep this player unit together, they learned Saturday they're losing Keli'i Kekuewa to Stanford. The assistant offensive line coach and run-game specialist was hired in in Jacksonville in 2025 as part of first-year head coach Liam Coen's inaugural staff.
