Jaguars' Parker Washington expresses desire to return punts in 2026

Parker Washington aims to continue his role as a punt returner for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2026. Special teams coordinator Heath Farwell confirmed that Washington, who has been effective in the return game, has expressed his interest in maintaining that position. Last season, Washington ranked seventh in total punt return yards and recorded two punt return touchdowns. However, as his role on offense expands, the Jaguars may reconsider his use in that capacity. Farwell mentioned other options, including Austin Trammell and rookie Josh Cameron, if Washington's role changes.
