The Jacksonville Jaguars just concluded the second week of Organized Team Activities and will embark on a one-month break before returning for training camp. The NFL just revealed when their first day will be.
The league announced the dates and sites for all 32 teams. For Jacksonville, rookies will show up on July 25, and veterans will join them on July 28. They'll hold practice at Miller Electric Center.
On a related note, the Jaguars will hold joint practices with each of their three preseason opponents, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (August 25, 26), the Carolina Panthers (August 19), and the New Orleans Saints (August 13). Head coach Liam Coen had confirmed the practices, but the dates had yet to be determined.
The Jaguars will face several questions in training camp
By all accounts, the Jaguars had a successful offseason program. That said, they're facing a few questions ahead of training camp. Jacksonville is missing several players, including running back Chris Rodriguez, tight end Nate Boerkircher, two-way star Travis Hunter, cornerback Jourdan Lewis, and left tackle Cole Van Lanen. Virtually all of them are expected to return for training camp, so it will be worth watching where each one of them stands in their recovery.
Circling back to Rodriguez, he was the only external free agent Jacksonville signed before the draft. He missed the offseason program after undergoing foot surgery. While Bhayshul Tuten is expected ot be the lead back, the Jags want Rodriguez to carry a big workload next season, so he'll need to get up to speed in training camp. If he doesn't, the Jags have to lean on sophomore LeQuint Allen Jr., Ameer Abdullah, or DeeJay Dallas more than they originally thought.
Moreover, the pass rush remains a question mark. Specifically, the Jags need a No. 3 behind Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen. The team's brass has yet to add a veteran because it wants to see what the young group of pass rushers brings to the table. Danny Striggow, B.J. Green II, Zach Durfee, and Wesley Williams are in the mix. Ideally, one of them will separate himself from the bunch. Otherwise, the Jags could have trouble getting after the quarterback.
The Jaguars also have several reasons for optimism in training camp
Not everything is gloom and doom. Sure, the Jaguars, like any other team, will be tweaking their roster and looking for answers for their potential weaknesses. Having said that, there are plenty of reasons for optimism in Duval.
Liam Coen is looking to build off the impressive turnaround he oversaw in 2025. With Trevor Lawrence entering his second season in the system, that's a realistic possibility. Speaking of, Brian Thomas Jr. is in the process of making a comeback. If he bounces back, the offense will be hard to stop.
On the defense, the Jags have no shortage of talent in the secondary and linebacker even after Devin Lloyd bolted in free agency. With Travis Hunter expected to play cornerback full-time, Anthony Campanile's unit could reach new heights in 2026.
When you add it all up, the Jaguars are in a position to make noise next season. For that to happen, though, they'll need to have a dominant training camp, and now know when it will start.
