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.
- •Rodriguez had been sidelined with a foot injury before training camp.
- •Bhayshul Tuten has assumed first-team running back reps in Rodriguez's absence.
- •Rodriguez is known for his ability to evade defenders, ranking high in yards after contact last season.
- •His impact will be better evaluated once full-contact practices commence.
