Jaguars' RB Chris Rodriguez joins team drills for first time
Summary

Chris Rodriguez participated in team drills during Jacksonville Jaguars' training camp on August 2, 2026. This marked his first involvement after only performing individual workouts earlier due to a foot injury that kept him out during OTAs and minicamp. His addition in free agency is expected to enhance the Jaguars' running game, providing a physical presence alongside Bhayshul Tuten, who has been taking first-team reps. Rodriguez's effectiveness will become clearer in full-contact sessions, as emphasized by offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who noted the need for tackle football to assess his impact.
