Training camps have kicked off around the NFL, and our team reporters are on the ground each day following all the action. The Jacksonville Jaguars' camp is taking place at their Miller Electric Center football facility and Jaguars reporter Michael DiRocco has the latest intel on standouts, highlights, position battles, depth chart movement, cut decisions and of course the quarterback room.
What follows is everything we are seeing and hearing at camp. We will update this file often with the latest updates on Travis Hunter, Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen's first camp as a head coach. Who are the breakouts to watch, especially for fantasy football? And which players on the roster bubble could make the final 53?
Let's get into it all, and be sure to keep checking back for more information until the first full week of the preseason begins Thursday.
Latest news from Jaguars camp
Wednesday, Aug. 6
Two big-time catches from WR Parker Washington and TE Brenton Strange -- two of the most consistent offensive performers throughout camp -- from Trevor Lawrence were the highlights of practice Wednesday.
Washington caught a deep throw in the middle of the field while fighting off safety Andrew Wingard, who was on his back, and cornerback Tyson Campbell. Strange made a one-handed catch with linebacker Devin Lloyd in coverage in two-minute work.
Strange's catch eventually led to Lawrence's TD pass to WR Dyami Brown. It was a risky throw from Lawrence, who was rolling right and threw back across his body and Brown had to fight off CB Jarrian Jones.
Overall, a solid bounce-back day from the offense after Tuesday's practice, which Lawrence called "definitely one of our worst days as an offense."

WR Brian Thomas Jr. (illness) did not practice Wednesday and is day-to-day, per the team.
Travis Hunter flipped back and forth between offense and defense for the second consecutive practice. He played 11 snaps on offense (one catch) and 18 on defense.
Some defensive highlights from 11-on-11 work: safety Antonio Johnson grabbed an interception off a deflected pass, DE Travon Walker with a sack, DT DaVon Hamilton with a sack, Jones and LB Foye Oluokun with pass breakups, safety Eric Murray had an interception and LB Jack Kiser with a tackle for loss on a screen play.
Camp recap: Who has been your standout performer of camp?
CB Jourdan Lewis. He has consistently made plays throughout camp -- he had a diving interception in the scrimmage and another two practices later -- and also is giving coach Liam Coen exactly what he wanted out of the nine-year veteran when he signed him: A steadying veteran presence in the secondary.
Lewis has lined up inside and outside and likely will be the nickel when the Jaguars go with five defensive backs when Hunter is on the field.
Camp recap: What is the biggest question to answer for your team in preseason games?
Can the Jaguars depend on any of their young interior defensive linemen? Arik Armstead (sore back) has missed the past three practices and only participated in individual drills before that and Maason Smith has been on PUP since suffering a calf injury before camp. NT DaVon Hamilton has been up and down in camp.
Run defense was a weakness last season and the offensive line has opened up big holes throughout camp. If the Jaguars can't get anything out of their reserve DTs -- particularly Jordan Jefferson and Tyler Lacy -- that might be an area the Jaguars will have to address after cuts.
Tuesday, Aug. 5
Cornerback Jourdan Lewis had a diving interception of QB Trevor Lawrence's pass to Parker Washington on Tuesday, the second time in three practices he's made a similar catch. Which isn't a surprise to coach Liam Coen, because Lewis has been making plays since training camp began.
"It's every day," Coen said. "You guys have seen how many diving, either pass breakups or interceptions he's had... From the moment we sat down and talked in my office till now, it's been exactly what he has said he wanted to do and what we also wanted from him from a veteran leader. Professional, show some of these guys the way, and he's taken that role on, and ran with it."
The Jaguars signed Lewis to a three year, $30 million contract with $20 million guaranteed as part of a secondary rebuild after he spent the past eight seasons with Dallas. He has lined up outside and inside throughout camp.
A sloppy day for the offense, which committed five penalties and fumbled the ball when QB John Wolford and TE Quintin Morris collided in the backfield. "Today was definitely one of our worst days as an offense," Lawrence said. "Even speaking just personally, I felt like I maybe didn't see it as great today. I just felt like we were moving a little slow coming off the off day. Just need to bring a little more juice next time."
Former Jaguars and New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin and former Oakland and Tampa bay coach Jon Gruden attended Tuesday's practice.
Coen on whether DT Arik Armstead, who is dealing with a sore back, will be ready for the season opener: "I would think so. It's hard for me to say right now, though."
WR Joshua Cephus continues to have a nice camp. He caught a deep pass from Wolford over CB Christian Braswell and also made a nice adjustment on a throw from Nick Mullens, coming back to the ball in front of DB Jabbar Muhammad.
Pass protection from the running backs has been an area of concern, but Tank Bigsby had a nice block of S Darnell Savage on a blitz pickup. It allowed Lawrence to complete a pass to WR Travis Hunter.
Sunday, Aug. 3
It was a frustrating day for second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a drop and a pass knocked out of his hands by CB Tyson Campbell. He also was unable to hook up with QB Trevor Lawrence during one-on-one red zone drills against Campbell.
Thomas was visibly bothered by the incompletion in the red-zone drills and kicked the football, which bounced off a bystander's leg.
Thomas had two touchdown catches in last Friday's scrimmage, which was a good sign that the chemistry he talked about developing with Lawrence was improving. After a day off on Saturday, Lawrence and Thomas hooked up four times in 11-on-11, including the 1-yard TD catch after Thomas beat Campbell on a quick slant.
More:
WR/CB Travis Hunter spent all 20 of his snaps on offense. He had a touchdown in red zone work with a leaping catch over CB Jourdan Lewis. Two plays later, Hunter had a pass bounce off his hand that S Andrew Wingard grabbed just before it hit the ground.
Rookie LB Jack Kiser recorded a pick-six off QB Nick Mullens during 11-on-11. Kiser stepped in front of the receiver inside the 10-yard line and went up the left sideline for the TD.
RG Patrick Mekari (back) and TEs Hunter Long (ankle) and Johnny Mundt (upper body) returned to practice. Mekari and Mundt were limited, while Long participated in team drills. Rookie LB Jalen McLeod (lower body) did not practice and is week-to-week, per the team.
S Antonio Johnson forced a fumble by punching the ball out of Long's hands after a catch in the middle of the field.
Friday, Aug. 1
Travis Hunter made a bigger splash on offense than he did on defense Friday night, but Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen views the rookie's two-way debut as nothing but successful.
Hunter played 38 snaps -- 17 with the first-team offense and 21 with the first-team defense -- in the Jaguars' scrimmage in front of 11,000 at EverBank Stadium, the first time he had played on both sides of the ball in training camp.
"I thought it was great," Coen said. "We got him the work that we wanted to get with him on offense early on and then able to get him on defense and get him enough reps. That was what we were hoping to do tonight in terms of just get him on both sides of the ball, quality work. I know he [didn't] get much [action at cornerback] because the [first-team] D-line was getting a good rush, so it was a little hard to see.
"I thought when he had the ball in his hands [on offense] and he operated, he operated at a high level."
Hunter caught three passes for 43 yards -- including a 21-yard reception in the middle of the field that put the offense in the red zone -- and was targeted another time in the end zone. That throw from Trevor Lawrence was a little behind, which allowed linebacker Ventrell Miller to knock it away.
"Pretty cool [with the ball in his hands] in space, isn't he?" Coen said.
Backup quarterback Nick Mullens did not throw at Hunter on defense.

Good night for WR Brian Thomas Jr., who had six catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns. Thomas talked last Thursday about continuing to build chemistry with Lawrence and Friday's performance is another step.
The Jaguars held out LB Dennis Gardeck (knee) and RB Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring) from team work. They were in uniform and warmed up but the team wanted to be cautious with them as they return from injuries.
DT Arik Armstead, however, did not participate at all. He is day to day with a sore back, the team announced. Armstead has not participated in any team work throughout camp.
The pass rush -- especially from the first-team defense -- was strong, with DE Travon Walker in position to record three sacks. DE Josh Hines-Allen, LB Devin Lloyd, and DT Tyler Lacy each had one.
CB Jourdan Lewis had the play of the night with a diving interception on Nick Mullens' pass to WR Trenton Irwin. That set the first-team offense up at the 36-yard line and Thomas caught his first TD pass three plays later.
K Cam Little made three field goals, including a 58-yarder. "I didn't even blink," Coen said. "It was just like, yeah, he's going to hit it."
RT Anton Harrison got snaps at left tackle for the first time since he was drafted in 2023. Coen said he wanted to take a look at Harrison at left tackle because of the shoulder injury that Cole Van Lanen suffered (which will keep him out for the rest of camp) last week. "With Cole being out, we have to figure out who our swing tackle is going to be for the short term right now, specifically," Coen said. "We still have, obviously, competition going on at all spots, but specifically that position, we want to make sure that we're giving guys the opportunity to be on the right side and the left side."
Thursday, July 31
Receiver Brian Thomas Jr. had more than half his targets and catches while playing with Mac Jones as a rookie, so he and quarterback Trevor Lawrence are playing catch-up a bit in camp as they try to build chemistry in their second season together.
Lawrence and Thomas were only able to hook up twice in five throws during 11-on-11 work on Thursday and one of the incompletions was a drop. But Thomas said he isn't frustrated and their connection will come.
"Like you said, we're still continuing to grow our relationship," Thomas said. "Just coming out here each and every day continuously putting in that work and trying to be the best that we can be, taking a step forward each and every day to get better."
Thomas was more productive under Jones last season (54 catches for 702 yards and five touchdowns) than Lawrence (33 catches for 580 yards and five TDs). However, Thomas averaged 17.6 yards per catch from Lawrence and 13 from Jones.
More:
Add OL Cole Van Lanen (shoulder) and S Caleb Ransaw (lower body) to the injury list. Van Lanen is out for the rest of camp and Ransaw is week-to-week, per the team.
TEs Hunter Long (ankle) and Johnny Mundt (upper body), RG Patrick Mekari (back), CB Montaric Brown (lower body), WR Louis Rees-Zammit (lower back) remained out. RB Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring) returned to team work on Thursday.
Lawrence hooked up with WRs Dyami Brown and Parker Washington on deep throws in 11-on-11. That had been an area in which the offense has had sporadic success in camp.
Lawrence has gotten off to a strong start in camp, with just one interception through the first seven practices. Last season's start was much shakier, with Lawrence throwing three interceptions in the first two practices.
Hunter spent the day on defense and had two pass breakups as well as being in coverage on the deep throw to Washington. S Darnell Savage, LB Chad Muma and DE Josh Hines-Allen had also PBUs.
Tuesday, July 29
The injury to cornerback Montaric Brown (leg) has opened up opportunities for other cornerbacks to make a push for more playing time. Jarrian Jones is atop the list.
The second-year player continued his solid start to camp with an apparent interception while guarding receiver Brian Thomas Jr. in one-on-one drills. Thomas ran an out route on the sideline and appeared to make the catch before running out of bounds. However, Jones, who had tight coverage, was able to rip the ball from Thomas' grasp with just his right arm.
"He's a great competitor," defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said. "He really works hard to play with technique."
What a rep from @JarrianJones 😳@Dream_Finders | #DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/vR5z2Yq4jf
— Jacksonville Jaguars (@Jaguars) July 29, 2025
Jones played mainly nickel as a rookie, but with the team signing Jourdan Lewis in free agency to play that spot it meant Jones was likely going to compete with Brown to start on the outside. Then the Jaguars drafted Travis Hunter, which further pushed Jones down the depth chart.
But with Brown out until the end of camp and Hunter spending time on offense, Jones' rep count will increase.
More:
A new injury on Tuesday: TE Hunter Long suffered an ankle injury during practice and is day-to-day. Long had one of the best catches of camp early in practice when he caught at TD pass from Nick Mullens with safety Andrew Wingard all over him.
LB Foyesade Oluokun had a leaping breakup of Lawrence's pass in the middle of the field to Thomas. After being moved to weakside linebacker last season by former defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, he's back in the middle in 2025 -- and happy to be there. "I'm a football player, man," he said. "Whatever coach needs, but I like what I'm doing right now."
Monday July 28
Cornerback Montaric Brown (lower leg) is going to be out for the rest of training camp, coach Liam Coen said.
Brown was competing with Jarrian Jones for a role as an outside corner -- depending on how much Travis Hunter were to play -- so this is a setback for the fourth-year player, who was coming off an impressive spring.
"I think it just gives us an opportunity to get guys reps," Coen said. "We expect him back for the season, obviously. So gives a great opportunity for Jarrian Jones, Travis [Hunter] to continue to get quality reps, [De'Antre] Prince and some of these guys to continue to get reps.
"It's a bummer a little bit for Buster [Brown]. I love Buster, but it is always anytime that happens. It is completely a new window and opportunity for somebody else."
More:
Hunter played 12 snaps on offense in 11-on-11 in a shorter practice and had two catches. He also found out just how strong DE Travon Walker is when he tried to block CB Jourdan Lewis on a run play. Hunter was lined up next to the tight end and had to get around Walker to reach Lewis. Except Walker jammed him with his right arm and Hunter's head snapped back. "[Hunter] goes, 'Hey, he took himself out of the play,'" Coen said. "Good answer."
DE Josh Hines-Allen caused a fumble in 11-on-11 when he punched the ball out of TE Brenton Strange's hands. S Caleb Ransaw recovered the loose ball.
Injury update: TE Johnny Mundt (upper body), RB Bhayshul Tuten (hamstring), RG Patrick Mekari (back), WR Louis Rees-Zammit (back) remained out at practice and Coen said they are day to day.
Sunday, July 27
Travis Hunter had an eventful day in his second consecutive practice on defense.
The No. 2 overall pick broke up three passes in 21 snaps in 11-on-11, including one on the final play of practice in the red zone. Receiver Joshua Cephus was juggling the ball after a pass from Nick Mullens and Hunter, who had to weave his way through the defense in man coverage to the opposite side of the field to stay with Cephus, knocked the ball away.
Hunter also broke up throws to Austin Trammell and Brian Thomas Jr.
Cephus got a step behind Hunter on a deep post in 7-on-7, but Mullens' pass was slightly underthrown and safety Darnell Savage was able to get a hand on the ball and knock it away.
Through four practices, Hunter been on the field in 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 for 83 snaps. He spent the first two practices exclusively on offense (36 snaps) and has played exclusively on defense the last two (47 snaps).

Trevor Lawrence and Thomas had a bit of difficulty hooking up on throws through the first three practices, especially on deep passes. But the two were in sync on Sunday. Most of the success came on shorter passes and the two connected in the back of the end zone for a touchdown, when Thomas made a leaping catch over cornerback Doneiko Slaughter.
DE Josh Hines-Allen is just 2.5 sacks shy of the franchise's career record (Tony Brackens has 55) but he's setting his goal a bit higher than that in 2025: He wants to break the NFL's single-season sack record (22.5 by Michael Strahan in 2001 and T.J. Watt in 2021). "I think all pass rushers should strive for that goal," he said.
Nickel Jourdan Lewis, who signed a three-year, $30 million contract in free agency in March, continued to have an impressive start to camp. He's had pass breakups each day.
K Cam Little capped off two two-minute drills with field goals, including one from 45-plus yards.
The Jaguars honored Jaguars Elite, their flag football team that won the 14U boys NFL Flag Championships, on the field prior to practice. Among the players was Brysen Wright, who had a one-handed coach in the end zone that went viral. Among the former or current NFL players who reached out to Wright was Odell Beckham Jr., whose one-handed catch in 2014 against Dallas is considered of the best in NFL history. "He just told me it was an awesome catch but he really just told me more so if I needed anything he was there for me or if I needed any help with anything he'll help me," Wright said.
Friday, July 25
How much receiver Parker Washington is involved offensively in 2025 likely depends on how much Travis Hunter plays on offense. He could be the No. 3 receiver if Hunter has a larger role on defense or the No. 4 if Hunter is heavily involved offensively.
However, if Washington's good start to camp continues, he could be on the field more even if Hunter is heavily involved. The third-year player caught a touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence in 7-on-7 red zone work and another from Lawrence in 11-on-11 red zone work.
"Really good start," coach Liam Coen said. "I've been pleased with Parker. I think if you're talking about guys that've gone up and made plays when the ball has been in the air, he's done it, and he's got the right mindset. He approaches work the right way every day. He's strong. He can work second level releases on people when they try to get hands on him."
Washington caught 32 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, with 29 of those catches coming after Christian Kirk suffered a season-ending broken collarbone in Week 8.
Hall of Fame guard and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak spent five days earlier this week working as a consultant with Jaguars offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett. Munchak and Sarrett worked together for five years with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2014 to 2018. Munchak was the Steelers' OL coach during that span while Sarrett was an offensive assistant with the Steelers from 2012 to 2017 and the assistant offensive line coach in 2018. Sarrett succeeded Munchak as the Steelers' OL coach when Munchak left to join the Denver Broncos.
RG Patrick Mekari, signed in free agency to replace Brandon Scherff, suffered back spasms and tightness and left practice Friday.
DT Arik Armstead has not participated in any 11-on-11 work through the first three days of practice, but Coen said that is not injury-related. "Just trying to get him into the swing a bit with individual and stuff like that," Coen said. "Just kind of give him a little bit of a veteran start."
Thursday, July 24
Defensive end Travon Walker was admittedly a raw pass rusher when he entered the NFL in 2022 as the first-overall pick, but after three seasons he believes he's close to reaching his full potential. Walker has 24 career sacks, including 21.5 in the past two seasons. He's trying to become the first player in Jaguars history to reach double-digit sacks in three consecutive seasons.
"Everybody knows I was drafted off of potential," Walker said Thursday. "I start pass rushing as a defensive end my sophomore year of college. I always had athleticism to be great but now I'm just starting to put everything together."
Walker broke up a Trevor Lawrence pass at the line of scrimmage in 11-on-11 work on Thursday.
"He's locked in, laser focused," defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said. "I'm excited for what he's going to do."
CB Montaric Brown, who is coming off a strong spring, missed Thursday's practice with a lower leg injury. He was held out as a precaution, per the team, and is day-to-day.
Good day for the secondary. Interceptions by S Antonio Johnson (off Nick Mullens) and DB Doneiko Slaughter (off Seth Henigan) and CB Zech McPhearson broke up Lawrence's deep pass to WR Brian Thomas Jr.
Wednesday, July 23
One of the first things Jaguars head coach Liam Coen did with his quarterbacks when they reported for camp on July 19 was give them a timed, 100-question quiz on the offense.
"It was pretty difficult," quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. "Some of [the questions] were some layups, but, yes, there were some good questions in there, some tough ones that kind of get us back going for camp and get the mind going and all the stuff you have to do as a quarterback. It was good. It kind of encompassed our whole offense, whether it's scheme, protections, it was a lot of stuff that was good to do as one of our first days back to kind of make sure we're ready to go."
Lawrence said he got 85 questions correct, which he called a B-plus.
"There was a couple bad answers in there by me," he said. "It's timed, too, so it's like 12 seconds to punch in the answer, so some of that puts some pressure on you."
WR/CB Travis Hunter's offense/defense snap-count breakdown during 7-on-7, 11-on-11, and 1-on-1 WR/DB drills: 14 (all on offense). He had three catches on three targets.
Coen said DT Maason Smith should not have a long stay on the active/PUP list, though he declined to elaborate on what the exact injury was that landed the second-year player on the list. "He had a great off season," Coen said. "He was in great shape. Worked his tail off, so it was a little bit of a bummer, obviously, but, it's a little bit more precautionary."
One of the biggest priorities for Lawrence in the offseason was improving his footwork and Coen said he likes the progress Lawrence has made. One of the small changes is having Lawrence having his left foot forward instead of his right when he's in shotgun. "That kind of involves a little bit of a different rhythm, footwork, and I think he's done a nice job progressing that so far," Coen said.
Tuesday, July 22
The plan for how WR/CB Travis Hunter will split his time in practice will become more clear when the Jaguars, who reported on Tuesday, hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday.
Head coach Liam Coen gave a glimpse of what to expect on the final day of the mandatory minicamp in mid-June when he had Hunter work on both sides of the ball for the first time. After spending the bulk of the practice at receiver, Hunter changed his teal jersey for a white one and worked at cornerback for the final few periods.
"That's definitely what we have to build towards for training camp, and then obviously in season, knowing that during practice, he's going to have to do both," Coen said after that practice. "He wants to do it. It's not as if it's something he can't handle. He wants to go and do that more. He wants more, and that's a good thing. But ultimately, we also have to protect him from himself at times as well, and make sure we get out of this phase healthy, but that is absolutely the plan moving forward."
Hunter did participate in defensive meetings and spent at least one full practice on defense in the spring, but spent most of his time on offense. Coen said that was by design because offense generally takes longer to learn, especially at receiver, because of the nuances, adjustments and audibles.
