ESPN projects sack totals for Jacksonville Jaguars defenders in 2026

ESPN released 2026 sack projections for top Jacksonville Jaguars pass rushers Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. The Jaguars struggled to generate sacks as a team during the previous season, recording one of the lowest totals in the NFL. Despite those team-wide difficulties, analysts expect Hines-Allen to record eight sacks this year. That figure matches his total from each of the last two seasons, though he previously reached 17.5 sacks in 2023. Meanwhile, the team expects Travon Walker to return to his previous form as he enters the season fully healthy. Coaches have experimented with moving Walker inside to create more pressure opportunities following his recovery from injury.
