Jacksonville Jaguars Training Camp: Day 7 Review and Mock-Game Takeaways
8/8/2026, 4:48:07 AM
Day 7 Practice Highlights
On the seventh day of Jacksonville Jaguars training camp, the team emphasized special-teams work and 11-on-11 drills. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence displayed his most accurate passing of the camp, completing the majority of his throws and delivering a deep touchdown to wide receiver Parker Washington. Tight end Brenton Strange recorded his best day, including his longest catch of the preseason. The practice marked the first full-pads session for the Jaguars.
Quarterback Situation
However, the backup quarterbacks struggled: Joey Aguilar was intercepted by Preston Hodge, and Nick Mullens experienced sputtering in the passing game. The disparity has raised concerns that the Jaguars would need a significant move at quarterback should Lawrence become unavailable, given the turnover issues observed among the backups.
Special-Teams Assessment
The Jaguars’ kicker, punter and long snapper were also described as top-tier, reinforcing the belief that special teams could differentiate the team within the AFC South.
Defensive and Roster Standouts
Defensive end Zach Durfee generated consistent pressure, including a notable rush on Lawrence during Day 7. Linebacker Ventrell Miller forced a fumble and recovered the ball, while safety Antonio Johnson continued his turnover-making form from the previous season.
Offensive Line Health
The mock game exposed depth concerns on the offensive line. Injuries sidelined left tackle Cole Van Lanen (right knee) and offensive tackle Garrett DiGiorgio (foot) on the PUP list. During the mock game, Walker Little was “banged up” on the first play, and Chuma Edoga was hurt after a collision with Travon Walker. Additional absences included Josh Hines-Allen, Patrick Mekari (sore back), and Emmanuel Pregnon (injury).
Official Statements & Responses
He highlighted the combination of quarterback play, coaching staff, and pass-rush talent as reasons for confidence heading into the preseason.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

What’s Next
The Jaguars will hold a light, fan-less practice later this month, followed by a regular session and a day off. Practices continue later in the month, after which the team travels to New Orleans for a joint practice with the Saints and opens the preseason with a game later in the month.
Verbatim Quotes
- “Caleb Ransaw, has been a fantastic gunner. A different type of player; I anticipate him being a starting gunner, right there with Rayuan [Lane III]. And Rayuan, as you guys know, between those two guys, I think we have two of the better gunners in the National Football League,” — Heath Farwell
