Jaguars' Depth Takes Center Stage in Preseason Loss to Panthers

Jacksonville fell 34-17 to Carolina in Week 2 of the preseason, but several Jaguars depth players impressed: head coach Liam Coen chose to sit starters to limit injuries, while Nick Mullens and Joey Aguilar combined to go 15-of-17 for 195 yards; Ameer Abdullah supplied a strong offensive showing with the starting nod; rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams were productive on six targets, and undrafted Trebor Peña and Michael Wortham flashed as potential pieces for the practice squad; Bryan Thomas Jr. applied steady defensive pressure, and Ventrell Miller and Branson Combs earned meaningful snaps in the rotation. On the downside, tight ends Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol were quiet, Carter Bradley struggled, DeeJay Dallas fumbled, and Jabbar Muhammad had some coverage lapses.

Cooper Jr. Emerges for Jets as Brooks Looks Set for Week 1 Run for Panthers

Week 2 of the 2026 NFL preseason offered several fantasy implications: Jets rookie Omar Cooper Jr. moved ahead of Isaiah Williams and could become a factor if he earns outside snaps in 12-personnel, Steelers’ Jaylen Warren started over Rico Dowdle though backfield roles remain unsettled, Panthers’ Jonathan Brooks appears to be the Week 1 starter if Chuba Hubbard is sidelined, Jaguars’ CJ Williams shows slot potential, Broncos’ Jaylen Waddle debuted and Engram’s snap count rose, while Packers’ Lloyd and Brooks continue to compete for backup roles. Overall, most players remain riskier fantasy bets until regular-season usage solidifies.

Jaguars Run Game Shines in Day 16 Practice vs Panthers

At Day 16 of the Jaguars’ joint practice with the Panthers, Jacksonville’s run game stood out led by Bhayshul Tuten, while Trevor Lawrence connected on multiple red-zone TDs and the offense overall looked sharp. The defense pressured Bryce Young with sacks but the team still logged zero turnovers across two joint sessions, signaling progress amid injuries. Big days from Chris Rodriguez Jr. and J’Mari Taylor complemented the offense, with Lawrence-to-Meyers highlighted as the play of the day.

Buffalo defeated Carolina 29-14 in the first preseason game at Highmark Stadium, pairing aggressive, down-the-field play with a disruptive interior rush from Deone Walker, a versatile back-seven showing in the secondary, and Cushenberry delivering solid center play that could provide Week 1 depth if McGovern isn’t healthy.

Panthers-Cardinals Preseason Thriller Sparks Four Hot Takes

The Panthers beat the Cardinals with a game-winning TD run by rookie Haynes King at the buzzer, but the piece urges caution: King’s strong showing won’t suddenly dethrone Bryce Young; Carson Beck flashed arm velocity and precision yet benefited from soft coverage and a shallow reserve defense; Carolina’s pass defense looked vulnerable but primarily due to depth and non-schemed play-calling; and two receivers, Jalen Brooks and Ja’Seem Reed, impressed but remain long-shot top targets for now.
