JACKSONVILLE – Jaguars 2026 Training Camp concluded Wednesday.
It was the 20th – and final – day of the second training camp under Head Coach Liam Coen, featuring a light practice of about 90 minutes with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 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 – shared an observation.
Here are Wednesday's "campservations:"
Oehser…
- Jaguars 2026 Training Camp wrapped Wednesday with a joint practice with Buccaneers – and while this was a light practice with scant "competition," the thought here is that's OK for the Jaguars. That's because whatever happened Wednesday, this has been a productive, successful camp – and that has been particularly true the last two weeks. It was two weeks ago – August 13 – that the Jaguars practiced against the New Orleans Saints in Metairie, La. Coaches weren't thrilled with the day's intensity, and multiple individual performances that day needed to be better. The Jaguars responded with a spirited, physical practice against the Carolina Panthers the following week – and the first of two joint practices against the Buccaneers this week was good enough that Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said the Jaguars were the more physical team and that the Jaguars were "playing with their hair on fire." The Jaguars on Tuesday felt like a team well aware that the regular season was approaching and that it was time to make sure they were ready for real football. The Jaguars were good last season. They should be good again this season. They increasingly felt ready to show that as camp approached an end, and that's a good sign with the September 13 2026 regular-season opener against the Cleveland Browns fast approaching.
Sexton…
- This was my 32nd training camp with the Jaguars, one I thoroughly enjoyed. My 31st training camp was shortened by a death in the family, and I personally missed being here. So, while I may be biased by being here every day this summer, it's fun to watch a good team. And make no mistake: This is a good team. On days when they weren't as sharp in one period, they rebounded the next. On days when they left the field dissatisfied, they responded with a stronger showing the following day. They were tightly organized and efficient. Mostly, I enjoyed watching a group of players and coaches who I find to be genuinely good people working together to be what most of us think this team can be ... a contender. Here's to a fun season of Jaguars football.
Stevens…
- We have reached the end of Jaguars 2026 Training Camp, and Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen should be happy with his second-year team. A limited number of padded practices allowed Jaguars players to perform physically when required, then focus mentally to take some complicated offensive and defensive schemes to the next level. We saw improvement through the joint practices from New Orleans, to Carolina and finishing with Tampa Bay. The physicality of this football team showed Tuesday against the Buccaneers, a day that marked one of the best Jaguars practices in recent memory for me. Much remains to be seen in the regular season, but I leave training camp with no huge or obvious areas of concern. If this team plays like it practices, I expect a tough, gritty and balanced team to take the field on Sundays this fall.
Shipley…
- Throughout '26 camp, a constant popped up at each practice: the Jaguars are deep at pass-catcher. It can be argued this is one of the better skill groups Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been around in six seasons in Jacksonville. While injuries limited wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington at different points in camp, that gave young depth time to shine. When the Jaguars hadtheir full weaponry, Lawrence and the passing offense fired on all cylinders. The Jaguars have stressedspreading the ball offensively, and this was reflected in camp. Each day, a different pass-catcher gave the secondary fits –whether it was Washington from the slot, Meyers over the middle or Thomas downfield. The starting trio's versatility and depth is impressive enough before you factor in Travis Hunter, or rookiewide receivers Josh Cameron and CJ Williams. The rookie duo worked with the starters extensively late in camp, with Cameron catching a deep-shot touchdown from Lawrence Wednesday. The starters are talented and reliable, and the rookies are impressive. This is a deep skill group that could take the Jaguars' passing game a long way.
