Jaguars rookie Emmanuel Pregnon impresses Liam Coen in preseason opener
Summary

Emmanuel Pregnon, a rookie offensive lineman for the Jacksonville Jaguars, showcased his skills during the team's preseason opener in New Orleans. He played 32 snaps at left guard, allowing only one pressure on 18 pass-blocking snaps and receiving praise from head coach Liam Coen for his performance. Coen indicated that Pregnon's strong debut could lead to more opportunities with the starters, especially at right guard, as the Jaguars manage injuries on the offensive line. However, the team plans to proceed cautiously with his development. Pregnon primarily played left guard in college at Oregon and is currently backing up Ezra Cleveland.
