The Jacksonville Jaguars are focusing on improving their turnover performance during training camp on July 31, 2026. After a substantial increase in forced turnovers last season, the team’s defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile emphasizes the importance of coaching players like Jourdan Lewis to effectively take the ball away. Despite last year's success with 31 forced turnovers, concerns arise about sustaining such a high turnover rate, especially after losing key defensive player Devin Lloyd to the Carolina Panthers. The Jaguars' turnover fortunes will be tested as they prepare for the 2026 season.
