5 Jaguars standouts who showed out on Day 11 of training camp

The Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up Day 11 of training camp. They'll next hold a walkthrough and later travel to The Big Easy to hold joint practices with the New Orleans Saints, their Week 1 preseason opponent.

One theme throughout Day 11 was that the Jaguars were dealing with a rash of injuries on the offensive line. Already, they were without right guard Patrick Mekari and offensive tackle Cole Van Lanen. Mia O'Brien of Actions News for Jax reports that Walker Little and rookie Emmanuel Pregnon rode a bike on Day 11 of training camp. Similarly, left guard Ezra Cleveland was held out as a precaution to avoid exposing him. That said, not everything was doom and gloom.

Several players were able to make a strong impression just one day before Jacksonville practices with the Saints. With this in mind, here are five standouts from Day 11 of Jaguars training camp.

5 Jaguars standouts from Day 11 of training camp

B.J. Green II, Jaguars defensive end

The Jaguars should be thrilled with B.J. Green II's progress going into Year 2. The sophomore defensive end is making plays on a daily basis at training camp. Day 11 was no different, with him registering 2.0 sacks, according to Mia O'Brien.

On a related note, former Jaguars pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah signed with the Chiefs. Based on Green's improvement, it's easy to see why Jacksonville let him go. With Ogbah out of the picture, Green is poised to have an even bigger role after flashing last year.

Parker Washington, wide receiver

Earlier this year, Liam Coen said he wanted Parker Washington to run more vertical routes next season. On Day 11, the former Penn State Nittany Lion showed why. Travis D. Holmes of SB Nation reported that Trevor Lawrence connected with Washington for a 40-45-yard gain, with Travis Hunter in coverage.

At 5'10", Washington doesn't seem like a player who can stretch the field, but he's quickly proving that he'll be up to the task when Jacksonville dials up deep shots next season.

Johna Monheim, offensive lineman

Jonah Monheim was the primary backup at center in his rookie season, but the Jaguars are rotating him at several positions ahead of Year 2. Earlier in training camp, the former USC Trojan lined up at right guard. Mia O'Brien says he got reps at left guard in relief of Ezra Cleveland on Day 11.

While Monheim probably won't be a Week 1 starter, the team is setting him up to step into action in case the injury bug strikes. That may turn out to be a good call based on the amount of offensive linemen Jacksonville is currently missing.

Bhayshul Tuten, running back

Bhayshul Tuten has quickly quelled concerns about his ability to replace Travis Etienne. Dating back to the offseason program, the second-year running back has showcased the home-run speed that made him a staple of the Virginia Tech offense. However, there's another part of his game that isn't discussed nearly enough and was on full display on Day 11.

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated reports that Tuten was impressive in several pass-protection reps. Thriving in this area will allow him to stay on the field in passing downs, so even though he'll share the workload with Chris Rodriguez, he'll still get ample playing time.

Ruke Orhorhoro, defensive tackle

The Jaguars traded for defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro just before the draft. The move made sense because this wasn't a good year to address the interior defensive line. On the other hand, Orhorhoro was coming off an underwhelming two-year stint with the New Orleans Saints. Fast forward to training camp, and he's making Jacksonville look brilliant.

Liam Coen has heaped praise on the former Clemson Tiger, and days like Day 11 showed why, with Mia O'Brien crediting him with two sacks.

If Orhorhoro keeps stacking up practices, he'll have a big impact to start the regular season.
