Jaguars lean on depth as rookies shine in preseason loss to Panthers

Jacksonville played mostly backups in Friday's preseason loss to Carolina, with no starting blockers or receivers. Rookie WRs CJ Williams and Josh Cameron stood out, catching multiple targets from the backup QB duo and showing they can contribute. Veteran RB Ameer Abdullah boosted his stock with a 23-yard run and an 18-yard catch-and-run, while the defense continued to deploy aggressive dime packages under coordinator Anthony Campanile.
