Jaguars aim for stronger pass-rush performance in 2026 season
Summary

The Jaguars struggled with pass-rush production in 2025, finishing last in sacks among defensive tackles. Key players Travon Walker and Arik Armstead faced injuries that limited their impact, leading to reliance on Josh Hines-Allen. With the 2026 season approaching, the team explores new defensive line options, including rookie additions. Observers anticipate improved sack numbers if Walker and Armstead remain healthy, as both previously recorded over 10 sacks in earlier seasons.
