Hunter Long's roster spot at risk ahead of Jaguars training camp
Summary

As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for training camp, tight end Hunter Long's position on the roster is uncertain. Signed during the 2025 offseason, Long's performance diminished in the second half of last season, where he recorded limited offensive snaps and only two touchdowns. The team's additions of Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol create a competitive tight end group, leaving Long and Quintin Morris vying for one roster spot. To secure his place, Long must improve his blocking and special teams contributions.
