JACKSONVILLE – The offseason isn't done yet, but it's close.

With that as a backdrop, Head Coach Liam Coen and quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Monday discussed the Jaguars' 2026 offseason program – the final days of which are being held at the Miller Electric Center this week.

Progress has been made and motivation has been high.

"This team understands there was meat left on the bone," Coen said.

Coen spoke to the media Monday following the first practice of the final week of '26 organized team activities. It's a somewhat lighter week than the first few of this year's offseason program, with emphasis on passing. Lawrence also spoke Monday, and said the Jaguars indeed have progressed during their second offseason season under Coen.

Jaguars went 13-4 with an AFC South title in 2025, with a major theme of the '26 offseason program looking forward rather than back.

"We've really attacked the offseason," Lawrence said, with Coen adding that the way "they've attacked this offseason is representative of that hunger and wanting to try to put ourselves in the best position to go earn those ops next year."

Multiple players stayed on the field after Monday's voluntary practice, working with coaches.

"It has become a standard," Coen said. "It has become something that we don't have to ask them to do anymore. We don't have to necessarily encourage it. They're doing it and they're taking the time out of there, rest and recovery, to go get some extra reps. That's important."

This week's final OTAs, like last week's minicamp, are unpadded and can feature competitive 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 work. Unlike last week's minicamp, they are voluntary and will feature multiple former NFL and Jaguars players speaking to – and working – with current players.

Among those present Monday: Former Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, former NFL wide receiver A.J. Green and former NFL defensive backs Devin and Jason McCourty. Former Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, former Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis and Pro Football Hall of Fame pass rusher DeMarcus Ware are expected to attend in a similar role later in the week.

"It's really to get our guys around players that did it at a high level, whether it was here or elsewhere," Coen said. "If they can take any nugget from them over the next three days, we got better. That's something that's really important to me."

Coen said the approach is consistent with the team's approach of often showing players examples of "the best of the best" such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady – and "what it takes to be great, what it takes to sustain success over the course of years."

"That's why I think it was really important to get these guys out here," Coen said. "We did mandatory last week. We brought them back for these days and wanted to kind of make it worth their time, make it something that they don't feel like it's a grind, but we're getting good quality work in and they can hopefully take something from these guys at some point here."

Added Coen, "It was something that kind of came up organically over the wintertime. That was kind of when the wheels started churning as to what can we do creatively for the last few days of offseason program to where maybe these guys are going to get somebody else's voice, listening to and just being around other guys.

"We're trying to improve in areas in which hopefully that can help provide some of that. It makes it a little bit different."

QUOTABLE

• Coen on maintaining the culture built in his first season as head coach: "Establishing is definitely a little easier [in Year 1] because they (players) are very ready to hear something different. When you have lost or are coming off a tough year, they're eager, their eyes are bright, they want to hear what you've got to say because like, 'Hey, man. This is what we got, this is where we have to go.' That was probably a little easier than sustaining it. [Long snapper] Ross Matiscik was telling me out there on the grass, 'Man, I told my wife this weekend that this is the closest team I've been around in my life.' It's pretty cool to hear that and to see it come to life but I think sustaining it is the challenge because now what happens if we lose some games and now you start looking at, 'Well man, maybe that wasn't right, maybe we aren't doing the right things,' but no, we are. You just stay the course, process drives the results, but man, we can get caught up in those results pretty quickly and I think that's when it goes downhill."
