JACKSONVILLE – Jaguars 2026 Training Camp continued Thursday.

It was the second day of the second training camp under Head Coach Liam Coen, featuring a one-hour, 45-minute practice in helmets at the Miller Electric Center. Each day throughout camp, members of Jaguars Media – senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton, senior reporter/editor J.P. Shadrick, team reporter Kainani Stevens and correspondent John Shipley – will share an observation.

Here are Thursday's "campservations:"

Oehser…

• The acclimating continued Thursday, and so did some play-making by the wide receivers and  defensive backs. Much of Thursday's work moved to the MEC's indoor facility because of the threat of lightning, with the offense looking more efficient compared to a relatively sloppy Day 1. Standing out: Veteran wide receiver Parker Washington, who continues to look like the team's best receiver and one of the NFL's ascending players at his position. Running backs LeQuint Allen Jr. and rookie J'Mari Taylor broke long runs during the early, indoor period. Linebacker Ventrell Miller and safety Rayuan Lane III also had interceptions, with rookie wide receivers Josh Cameron and CJ Williams also standing out. Cameron and Williams are particularly intriguing as camp begins. If one or both emerge as a legitimate option on a receiving corps that already includes Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, an already dangerous offense becomes a strikingly deep one. The early-camp acclimation period continues through the weekend, with the first padded practice scheduled for Monday.

• So, how did Branson Combs – a converted wide receiver who went undrafted as a linebacker –transform himself from a practice-squad player to contending for a starting job in a little more than a year? "He has worked really hard and has developed an understanding and a confidence level in what we do," Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said Thursday. "He's really good with his hands and is used to the sudden stops and starts from playing receiver, so it has translated well and there's a lot more he can do as he grows in our scheme." A year ago, Jaguars analyst Jeff Lageman was the only person talking about Combs. This summer, there are plenty of eyes on Combs as he competes with Ventrell Miller to replace Devin Lloyd on the weak side. "He can really run," Campanile added, "which obviously helps in coverage, but he can go forward, too. He has pass-rush potential, which gives him another dimension. He's a lot of fun to watch." Both Combs and Miller were all over the field on Thursday making plays, which only adds to the drama of one of the few starting positions in play this summer.

Shadrick …

• The Jaguars spent the first half of practice indoors due to lightning within a 10-mile radius of the MEC. Once outside, they worked a special teams period plus a couple 11-on-11 periods in front of the fans. Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. made a nice catch along the right sideline on a pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Rookie tight end Tanner Koziol made a great leaping catch down the seam over a couple defenders. Toward the end of practice, Lane intercepted Lawrence on a deep pass down the middle, though there might have been a flag thrown on the play. The Jaguars ramp-up period continues Friday, then the pads come on Monday.

Stevens…

• Day 2 practice moved inside due to nearby lightning, and the tight quarters featured some of the day's highlights. A diving contested catch from Cameron was the "wow" moment of the day. The tight ends also were heavily involved in the pass game Thursday, as Head Coach Liam Coen clearly wants to get Brenton Strange, Koziol and Nate Boerkircher as many reps as they can handle in this offense. Overall, it was less sloppy than the first day of camp.

• It was a strong morning for the Jaguars' rookie class. When you are a rookie joining a 13-4 playoff team, critical reps are rare outside training camp, and it seems like this year's rookies are off to a fast start. Seventh-round linebacker Parker Hughes and third-round safety Jalen Huskey each had pass breakups during team drills, while seventh-round defensive end Zach Durfee was able to record a sack near the end of practice. As for the offensive rookies, the pass-catchers continued to stand out – just like they did during the offseason program. Koziol made arguably the catch of the day on a big grab downfield on a pass from Nick Mullens, while Cameron made a number of impressive grabs. Cameron was half a step out of bounds from a would-be completion against cornerback Travis Hunter, too, which would have been quite the rep for the rookie receiver.
