Core Event
Veteran offensive lineman Anton Harrison, who has spent the past three seasons as Jacksonville’s right tackle, was moved to left tackle during this summer’s training camp. The change came after right-tackle Cole Van Lanen was placed on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury. Reporters attending camp noted that Harrison’s performance on the blind side of quarterback Trevor Lawrence earned strong reviews, with coaches praising his seamless adjustment.
Background & Context
Harrison’s three-year tenure at right tackle had established him as a reliable component of the Jaguars’ offensive line. The injury to Van Lanen created an immediate need at left tackle, prompting head coach Liam Coen to experiment with positional swaps as part of a broader effort to “see what sticks.” The coaching staff has emphasized consistency in technique and effort across the entire line, a theme that surfaced repeatedly in the camp’s early practices.
Official Statements & Responses
Coen added that the staff will continue to challenge the line’s cohesion, but expressed satisfaction with how the group handled the positional shift.
