Jaguars question backup quarterback depth after Saints preseason game
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars faced offseason challenges in their backup quarterback position during their preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints on August 16. Nick Mullens started but struggled, going 3-for-7 passing for 33 yards with one interception. Carter Bradley performed slightly better, completing 10-of-17 passes for 105 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Jaguars' offense had difficulty moving the ball, a situation exacerbated by an injured offensive line. Jaguars' management may explore roster options as cutdowns approach, but currently, they appear unlikely to make changes to the quarterback depth chart.
