Cole Van Lanen returns to Jaguars practice after knee injury

Cole Van Lanen returned to practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 24, 2026, after being activated from the physically unable to perform list. Van Lanen had missed the entire offseason due to a knee injury suffered in Week 18 of the previous season. His participation is currently limited to individual drills, with plans for a gradual ramp-up during this week's joint practices with Tampa Bay. The coaching staff has stated he will not engage in team drills until he shows readiness. Whether Van Lanen will be available for the Jaguars' Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns remains uncertain.
