JACKSONVILLE – Jaguars 2026 Training Camp continued Tuesday.
It was the 11th day of the second training camp under Head Coach Liam Coen, featuring a practice of a little more than 90 minutes in pads and helmets at the Miller Electric Center. Each day throughout camp, members of Jaguars Media – senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton, team reporter Kainani Stevens and correspondent John Shipley – will share an observation.
Here are Tuesday's "campservations:"
Oehser…
- This was a day for the defense – and for persevering offensively. While the defense had a strong Day 11, with Head Coach Liam Coen saying the unit "kind of took the fight to us," the offensive line continues to deal with training-camp attrition. Cole Van Lanen. Walker Little. Emmanuel Pregnon. Patrick Mekari. Ezra Cleveland. Chuma Edoga. All are expected to matter for the Jaguars' offensive line this season and all have dealt with injuries enough to miss practice in the last week. The starting line at one point Tuesday: Anton Harrison at left tackle, Wyatt Milum at left guard, Robert Hainsey at center, Jonah Monheim at right guard and Edoga at right tackle. The Jaguars like working offensive linemen at various positions in camp to prepare for the regular season, but they would prefer it be more voluntary than is currently the case. Sometimes, NFL training camps are about navigating less-than-ideal situations – and that's what this week appears to be about as the Jaguars prepare for this week's joint practice and preseason opener at New Orleans.
Sexton…
- Tuesday was one of camp hottest days, and it showed in practice. Players took extra water, grabbed iced towels and even stepped into the cooling trailer to prepare for the next drill. Still, the pace of practice and effort level remained high. I watched DaVon Hamilton, the 330-pound nose tackle, chase a screen 20 yards downfield and to the sidelines – and he wasn't alone. Linebacker Dennis Gardeck picked up a fumble and raced full speed toward the end zone, Harrison finished back-to-back blocks with his defender on the ground and wide receiver Josh Cameron was in the middle of everything on special teams. "That's just the standard we set around here," said defensive end Travon Walker, who was drenched in sweat 20 minutes after practice. "Guys want to play to the standard, no one wants to let the guy next to him down, which is why you see so many (guys) still out here." Walker spoke while roughly half the roster remained in the sun working on drills, talking with coaches and getting extra conditioning. Coen has clearly developed the mindset of this football team into one that is tough and the players proved it on Tuesday.
Stevens…
- The Jaguars had pads back on after a day off Monday and they experienced their steamiest practice of this year's camp. The defense had a strong day, with the offensive line shorthanded as several key players did not participate in team drills. Wednesday will be a light walkthrough before the team packs up and heads to New Orleans for a highly anticipated joint practice on Thursday against the Saints.
Shipley…
- Day 11 of '26 Jaguars camp was a long one, even if the day ended early. Coen said following Tuesday's practice that he ended practice a period early after it was clear the defense had won the day, with the defense looking especially impressive against the run. Coen noted that rookie defensive tackle Albert Regis stood out throughout the day alongside Arik Armstead and the rest of the veteran defensive line, who seemed to put up a wall in front of the Jaguars' rushing attack throughout the course of practice. That is not to say the Jaguars' offense didn't make some plays during the 90-minute practice, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence and wide receiver Parker Washington once again connecting on a deep pass downfield for the biggest gain of the day.
