Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- Parker Washington has emerged as the Jaguars' top wide receiver in training camp, consistently excelling against coverage and likely to lead the team in routes and snaps this season despite not having a contract extension yet.
- The Jaguars plan to utilize all three running backs—Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen—with Allen expected to be the primary third-down back due to his strong receiving and pass protection skills.
- Travis Hunter is actively participating on both offense and defense during practice, indicating the Jaguars intend to deploy him significantly as both a cornerback and wide receiver in the upcoming season.
- The Jaguars' pass rush has shown promising depth in camp, highlighted by standout performances from B.J. Green, rookie Zach Durfee, Danny Striggow, and newcomer Ruke Orhorhoro, improving confidence in their defensive front.
- Anton Harrison is anticipated to start at left tackle in Week 1 after spending most of training camp there, suggesting the team does not expect Cole Van Lanen to be available and that Harrison will transition from his previous right tackle role.
