The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering the regular season following a training camp that included four joint practice sessions. The team finalized a 53-man roster, aiming for consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in over two decades. Head coach Liam Coen opted to keep starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and other key starters out of preseason game action, relying on the intensity of joint practices instead. The offense faces a primary adjustment at running back after the departure of Travis Etienne, with Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten expected to share the workload. The Jaguars open their schedule against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 13 at EverBank Stadium. The coaching staff remains focused on integrating a run-first philosophy under Coen while maintaining the efficiency of the passing game.
