After an exciting scrimmage on Saturday night, the Jaguars got back to work Monday morning for their 9th training camp practice. Here are some of the snippets from Twitter.
The injuries are starting to pile up for the Jaguars, but they did get some good news as veteran quarterback Alan Ball is finally able to participate in practices.

One of the biggest concerns from Saturday’s scrimmage was the number of drops by wide receivers on catchable balls, and that appears to be leaking into practice on Monday.
Gus yells "catch the ball! Every rep!" after couple drops. He won't let up on WRs w/guys down. Time to crank up pressure #Jaguars #JagsCamp

Versus air! Add Taylor now “@ESPNdirocco: Some of the WRs having trouble with drops in drills. Thomas, Bumphis, Shaw and Brown with drops.”

Nice job, Frenette. #seesaw “@ESPNdirocco: WR coach Sullivan just seesaw down Slaughter in drills after Slaughter quit on a route."

Chad Henne got a lot of work in and was very vocal today in calling out his teammates.

Chad Henne just called whole offense over in 7-on-7 into a huddle and ripped into everyone. #jagscamp #Jaguars

Blake Bortles is looking to build off the momentum of a nice performance at Saturday’s practice, but he still has a ways to go if he wants to convince to the coaching staff to start him in week 1.
3 bad balls in a row for Bortles. #Jaguars
— Rick Ballou (@Ballou1010xl) August 4, 2014
Bortles can sure enough throw on the run. Nice #Jaguars #JagsCamp

Practice was cut short due to lightning, but head coach Gus Bradley made it clear that ball security and drops are something they need to focus on and fix.

No. That's it practice done. #Jaguars

Gus: drops is something we have to fix. #Jaguars
