JACKSONVILLE – Jaguars 2025 Training Camp continued Monday.
It was the fifth day of the first training camp under Head Coach Liam Coen, featuring an hour-and-15-minute practice in helmets and shoulder pads 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 and team reporter Kainani Stevens – will share an observation.
Here are Monday's "campservations:"
John Oehser, Jaguars Senior Writer…
- Day 5 of Jaguars '25 camp was Day 1 in pads – and Monday had the expected rise in intensity that padded practice brings. The Jaguars moved into contact team work in Period 5 – a period that from this view featured unusually hard hitting on run plays for the first padded work. Head Coach Liam Coen talked last week of the offensive line anticipating working in pads for the first time – and Monday reflected that. Hat tip to defensive end Josh Hines-Allen – who forced a fumble by tight end Brenton Strange while dropping in pass coverage – and to rookie running back LeQuint Allen, who continues to produce quality runs on what seems like a daily basis. Also continuing to stand out: First-year wide receiver Joshua Cephus, who got behind the defense Monday for a deep reception from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Cephus has made an eye-catching play in nearly every practice so far. With Monday's practice comparatively short as players acclimated to pads, look for the intensity to rise again Tuesday in a longer session that should feature more extended full-contact periods.

- Today was my first day at '25 camp and happened to be the first day in pads, so my first look was toward the offensive line. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense was a revelation in 2024 because they fixed the running game with Coen as offensive coordinator. With the run game one of the most important fixes in Jacksonville in 2025, I wasn't surprised that area was featured in the first team period Monday – and the period was "spirited," to say the least spirited. Running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby took turns banging it up behind a rebuilt line, and the results were encouraging. Center Robert Hainsey, who played for the Buccaneers last season, told the media after practice the most important sign is the emphasis he has seen on getting the run right. "I see the same emphasis here," he said. "It's not just the coaches or the scheme or the players. It's everything working together. They want that to be the calling card. They're emphasizing it because it's important for this offense to be able to set up play action and the pass." It's early, but it's also clear that the path to an explosive offense is a consistent, productive running game.

- Camp took an extra step up in intensity Monday as the Jaguars put on shoulder pads for the first time. This meant one-on-one drills for the first time between the offensive and defensive lines, wide receivers and corners and the running backs/tight ends against linebackers and safeties. The first throw in wide receivers/cornerbacks was wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. against cornerback Tyson Campbell. Thomas caught a deep throw down the sideline just behind Campbell before Thomas ran inside the pylon for a touchdown. Rookie wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter also caught a ball over the middle, then hit the brakes and reversed field against cornerback Jourdan Lewis. The team work seemed physical enough to get a good look, but as Coen said after practice, it did not cross the line to careless. Expect the practice to go a little longer on Tuesday.

- In fitting fashion, the first padded practice aligned with camp's hottest day to date. The pads went on and physicality immediately ramped up. The offensive line was impressive to me as it held its own and created some wide running lanes throughout team drills. Etienne and Bigsby stood out to me on a day where the coaches focused heavily on establishing the run. Allen got some extra reps as rookie Bhayshul Tuten missed practice with a sore hamstring and Cephus continued to impress, making several impressive plays throughout the 90 minute practice. Defensively, Hines-Allen had the highlight of the day by punching out the ball and forcing a fumble after Brenton Strange caught a deep pass over the middle from Lawrence.
