Everything I Saw at Day 16 of Jaguars Training Camp: Running Game Picks On Panthers
Key Points:
- The Jacksonville Jaguars had one of their most physical and energized practices of the summer during a joint session with the Carolina Panthers, despite some injuries on both teams.
- The Jaguars' running game stood out, with Bhayshul Tuten having his best practice yet and backup backs like Ameer Abdullah and J'Mari Taylor showing promise, contributing to a dominant physical tone early on.
- Quarterback Trevor Lawrence excelled in red-zone drills, throwing three consecutive touchdown passes and demonstrating improved accuracy and decision-making compared to previous seasons.
- The practice was competitive and balanced overall, with both teams having successes and setbacks, but the Jaguars' defense pressured Panthers quarterback Bryce Young consistently, though they still lacked turnovers.
- Notable individual performances included Brian Thomas Jr. as a reliable receiving target, Tanner Koziol scoring a red-zone touchdown, and Travis Hunter primarily contributing on defense with a key pass breakup.
