Jaguars Narrow Week-1 O-Line Identity as Camp Closes In on Week 1

Day 17 of Jaguars camp pointed toward a Week 1 starting offensive line: Anton Harrison at left tackle, Emmanuel Pregnon at left guard, Robert Hainsey at center, Ezra Cleveland at right guard, and Walker Little at right tackle, with Cole Van Lanen’s health the key variable for Week 1. Travis Hunter remained largely at cornerback, signaling the team’s priority on defense early; Nate Boerkircher turned in his best practice at tight end with solid red-zone work alongside Trevor Lawrence. Jakobi Meyers was sidelined, prompting Josh Cameron and CJ Williams to get first-team reps, while Matt Dickerson delivered the play of the day with a read, interception, and return for a TD on a screen. The Jaguars wore no pads, emphasized passing and red-zone drills, and a few players (Mekari, Kiser, LeQuint Allen, Meyers, Regis) were not seen on Sunday.

Jaguars Bolster O-Line Depth with Faalele Acquisition in Injury-Plagued Camp

Jacksonville acquired Giants tackle-guard Daniel Faalele for a likely late-2027 pick to shore up an injury-plagued offensive line, adding guard/tackle versatility and depth rather than an immediate starter. With multiple linemen sidelined in training camp, Faalele gives the Jaguars a stabilizing reserve, and the move may reflect uncertainty around veteran Patrick Mekari (back procedure) and his availability early in the season.

Jaguars add Faalele to shore up guard depth amid Mekari injury

Jacksonville is trading for guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants in exchange for a 2027 late-round pick, adding a veteran body at right guard as Patrick Mekari recovers from back surgery. Faalele, a 6-foot-8, 370-pound blocker who started every Ravens game in 2024-25, joins a Jaguars guard group that includes Wyatt Milum and Emmanuel Pregnon. The Giants, who drafted Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 and plan Runyan Jr. at left guard, clear cap space with the move.

BTJ to anchor outside X role as Jaguars revamp passing attack

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe expects Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. to line up as the outside X in the 2026 offense, with Parker Washington likely in the slot and Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter competing for flank duties. Wolfe notes BTJ’s strength on vertical routes and beating man coverage, drawing comparisons to Brandin Cooks and Sammy Watkins in LA; Washington is projected as the No. 1 target, while Coen’s Rams-inspired system could maximize BTJ’s big-play upside amid a crowded WR group.

Travis Hunter Stakes a Claim on Jaguars’ First Depth Chart

The Jaguars released an unofficial first depth chart ahead of preseason, placing Travis Hunter as a starting cornerback and backup wide receiver to reflect his two-way role, with Anton Harrison at left tackle and Walker Little at right tackle. Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. split the running back duties, while Ventrell Miller and Branson Combs are the top linebacker pairing. Matt Dickerson is the leading DT backup behind Arik Armstead, with Ruke Orhorhoro in the mix. The chart is unofficial and mainly reflects training-camp observations ahead of Week 1.

Backfield Takes Center Stage as Jaguars Shine in Scrimmage

Jacksonville's Day 8 Teal and White scrimmage underscored depth on offense as five running backs made positive impressions, led by Bhayshul Tuten with steady five-yard gains and a touch on a screen, while LeQuint Allen, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Ameer Abdullah and J’Mari Taylor contributed in various roles. Receivers Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr. continued to show reliability, and the defense saw rising play from young edge-rushers like B.J. Green and Wesley Williams with Ventrell Miller earning more starting reps in the linebacker competition. The OL dealt with injuries that strained backups, and Cam Little briefly missed an extra point before settling back into routine kicking.
