The Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up their last residence observe of the preseason on Wednesday.

Subsequent up is a joint observe in Miami on Thursday, an off-day Friday, and the preseason finale with the Dolphins on Saturday.

However earlier than we look forward to what's upcoming, let's have a look again at Wednesday's observe with three takeaways from what occurred with the assistance of those that have been in attendance.

Travis Hunter's availability As soon as once more, Hunter didn't participate within the group interval of observe as he continues to work by an upper-body harm. Nevertheless, as Mia O'Brien famous, Hunter was once more part of stretch, particular person drills--today at vast receiver--and walk-throughs with the defensive backs.

Liam Coen mentioned on Tuesday that the group can be good with Hunter's workload on Wednesday, with a joint observe on the horizon.

Nothing concrete has been mentioned about Hunter's standing for Thursday, however Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Community reported that the hope is to have Hunter take part within the joint observe.

"He is acquired the upper-body harm, that is a hockey time period, everyone's questioning, 'hey, is {that a} signal of overuse?' No, that is one thing very minor. I am advised if it was an everyday season recreation final weekend, he would have performed. It is only a scenario of them attempting to get him nearer to 100%."

Protection will get after the quarterback In response to O'Brien, Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen every had no less than two sacks on Wednesday. Each gamers have been extremely disruptive all through coaching camp.

O'Brien provides that Emmanuel Ogbah, Devin Llody, and Danny Striggow every had a sack as nicely.

I discussed this following the Saints recreation, however beneath Anthony Campanile, we're going to see a way more aggressive protection, which can embrace extra motion alongside the defensive entrance, extra blitzing, and, I might enterprise to guess, extra simulated pressures to throw extra seems to be on the offensive line.

On the flip facet, whereas it is nice to see the protection getting after the quarterback, it does elevate questions in regards to the play of the offensive line unit. The Jaguars proceed to rotate gamers and embrace competitors as they seek for their finest beginning 5 configuration.

The best facet, particularly, appears to be probably the most unsettled, with the guard and deal with spots seemingly up for grabs. Some mixture of Chuma Edoga, Patrick Mekari, and Anton Harrison will begin at these two spots.

TE Hunter Lengthy once more flashing within the passing recreation One other day, one other play within the passing recreation for Hunter Lengthy. In response to John Shipley of Jaguars on SI, Lengthy had a powerful catch and run in Wednesday's observe.

This play comes after he made a powerful sideline catch in opposition to New Orleans in contested protection for 26 yards.

Shipley additionally famous that whereas Johnny Mundt has been within the tight finish rotation behind Brenton Unusual as nicely, Lengthy has "seemingly been forward of Mundt for reps.

Each gamers are going to see the sector this season. However relating to who's TE2 on paper, do the Jaguars need the well-rounded talent set that Mundt brings or the extra explosive presence that Lengthy can supply?
