No Holding Back: Jaguars to Play Starters vs the Steelers

No Holding Back: Jaguars to Play Starters vs the Steelers

Fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten their wish.

Head coach Liam Coen, in his post-practice media availability at Day 12 of training camp, confirmed that the team has decided to play their starters for Saturday’s 7 P.M. preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Over the past week, team leadership had been mum on the subject as they continued to evaluate their stance. However, Coen confirmed that his players’ desires to play partially contributed to the decision to allow them those snaps. Coen specifically pointed out center Robert Hainsey and quarterback Trevor Lawrence as players who expressed their desires to...

Jaguars offense bounces back on Day 11 of Training Camp

Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars’ offense bounced back in a big way after one of their worst outings of camp on Tuesday, as Parker Washington, Dyami Brown, and a pair of tight ends took turns making big plays.

Here are our notes from Day 11 of Jacksonville Jaguars training camp.

Practice Observations

For the second practice in a row, and the third time in a week counting Friday’s scrimmage, No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter played both offense and defense. Head coach Liam Coen told Rich Eisen that the plan for Hunter to play both wide receiver and cornerback...

Pardon the delay of this post being published during our transition to a new publishing platform. We appreciate your patience and hope you like the new site!

Tuesday was a pretty rough day for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense as the team completed Day 10 of head coach Liam Coen’s inaugural training camp. With Jon Gruden and Tom Coughlin both in attendance, the offense had trouble putting things together early and often.

Fr the first time this camp, Tuesday was not one issue, such as drops ruining the day. The issues varied from issues with pass protection, to turnovers, and notably,...

Lawrence Steals the Show: Jaguars' Scrimmage Highlights & Observations

Lawrence looked locked in, and Dyami Brown is officially turning heads. Friday night brought fire from QB1 and a statement from this receiver core.

Travis Hunter playing on both sides of the ball in one practice? Game-like scenarios under the stadium lights?! Is football back in Duval? Well, not quite...

Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 breakout candidates: OT Walker Little

Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 breakout candidates: OT Walker Little

Walker Little is finally getting his shot as the full time starter for the Jags at left tackle. Could it lead to a breakout performance in 2025.

On paper, Walker Little being a potential breakout candidate for the Jaguars shouldn’t make much sense.

A second-round pick in the same draft as Trevor Lawrence, Little is entering his fifth season with the team and received a lucrative contract extension towards the end of last season. That timeline typically lends itself to somebody who has already broken out — but that hasn’t really been the case for Little.

A former Stanford standout,...

Jaguars 2025 State of the Roster: Linebackers

Jaguars 2025 State of the Roster: Linebackers

This core of linebackers could be an enormous bright spot for the Jaguar defense.

For one of the final installments of the state of the roster series, we are going to take a look at the center of the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense: the linebackers.

Led by star linebacker Foye Oluokun, the Jags have the makings of a solid linebacking core. Much like the cornerbacks, the Jags have the pieces to wreak havoc in the coverage game with their backers while also having talent that can attack the quarterback.

Specifically for someone like Devin Lloyd, the upcoming season could be a...

Jaarian Jones Dominant In Consecutive Days: Training Camp Day 6 highlights & observations

The Jaguars leaned heavily into their “home field advantage” today, practicing outside during Jacksonville’s scalding 111 degree heat index. And while the weather was a scorcher, so were the plays being made on the field.

On Tuesday, the Jacksonville Jaguars took to the Miller Electric practice fields for their second day of padded practices in 2025, with this one being slightly longer and more physical than Monday’s affair. With a near-sold out attendance, the highly-competitive Tuesday training camp featured many expected impressive performances, with maybe a few surprising names. Here are our top highlights and observations from Day 6 of...
