First off the field: Day 11

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The heat got much realer, and so did the intensity.

The Jaguars on Tuesday afternoon held their second joint practice in as many days against the Baltimore Ravens, with the teams working for about two and a half hours at the Under Armour Performance Center.

The teams worked in 92-degree temperatures – and if Monday's first joint practice between the teams felt low-key at times and without incident, Tuesday's work was more spirited and featured one brief period of shoving in a goal-line drill with the Jaguars on offense and Ravens on defense.

Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette and wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. were both near the "skirmish," which was minor and ended almost before it began. The teams exchanged words for a few plays thereafter.

"It's not all sunshine and roses, right?" Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh told media after practice. "It gets competitive out there, man. Those things didn't escalate. There were a couple guys talking – two plays the whole practice. Pretty quickly pulled them apart."

Jaguars Head Coach Doug Marrone spoke to the media before the session. Coverage of his availability can be found on jaguars.com.

Fournette had a second consecutive strong day, with the two practices against the Ravens perhaps the best the third-year veteran has had during 2019 Jaguars Training Camp. The Jaguars' passing offense also had a good practice Tuesday, with quarterback Nick Foles continuing to show good chemistry with wide receivers Chris Conley, DJ Chark Jr. and Dede Westbrook.

The teams alternated first team against first team and second team against second team again Tuesday, and the Jaguars' offense for a second consecutive day fared well in red-zine drills.

Tuesday's work also included a live period with Ravens offense against Jaguars defense on one field and Jaguars offense versus Ravens defense on the other field with both defensive units "tackling to the ground." Few if any starters participated in those full-contact drills.

The Jaguars do not practice Wednesday, but will hold a walkthrough in advance of Thursday's 7:30 p.m. preseason opener against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

Here's a look at Day 11 practice:

PLAY OF THE DAY

The clear choice for this for the Jaguars Tuesday came in an early 11-on-11 drill, with Foles throwing deep to Conley. With Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith in coverage, Conley won the matchup and beat Smith deep. Foles threw a perfect pass for a 65-yard touchdown.
