Locked On Jaguars Hit - Quick Takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars

Patrick Mekari and Jack Kiser may still factor into the Jaguars’ plans—but injuries could make them part of Jacksonville’s roster-cut strategy.

Could placing both offensive linemen on injured reserve create temporary openings for players who might otherwise be lost during final cuts? We examine how James Gladstone could use the IR rules to protect more talent while preserving experienced offensive-line depth for later in the season.

Jalen McLeod and Bryan Thomas Jr. enter Friday night with one final opportunity to strengthen their cases for the Jaguars’ 53-man roster.

Both defenders have flashed during the preseason, but roster decisions demand more than isolated moments. Can either deliver the disruptive performance that forces Jacksonville’s decision-makers to find him a spot?

Who are the five best players currently on the Jacksonville Jaguars roster?

Kyle Nash ranks Jacksonville’s top five based on talent, production, positional impact and overall importance to the team. With established stars, emerging difference-makers and elite young talent competing for recognition, narrowing this roster down to only five isn’t easy.

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally look capable of imposing their will on another football team.

From the offensive line finishing blocks to a defense that has consistently brought force and aggression, Jacksonville’s physicality has stood out throughout training camp and joint practices. This isn’t simply one intense practice—it’s becoming the identity of Liam Coen’s team.

Kyle Nash explains why these are the most physical Jaguars we’ve seen in at least half a decade—and why that could matter more than any preseason result.

Want to learn what the Jacksonville Jaguars are truly capable of? Watch the joint practices—not just the preseason games.

Joint practices give the Jaguars’ starters meaningful work against another team, allow coaches to create specific situations and produce more valuable evaluations without the restrictions of a preseason broadcast. Kyle Nash explains why these controlled matchups often reveal more about Trevor Lawrence, the offensive line and the Jaguars’ defense than backup-heavy exhibition games.

Day 1 of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers delivered plenty of encouraging signs.

Trevor Lawrence opened team drills with a deep touchdown to Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington made plays in traffic, Josh Hines-Allen reportedly produced three sacks in one period and the Jaguars’ secondary created multiple turnovers against Baker Mayfield.

For Day 2, Jacksonville must protect Lawrence more consistently against Vita Vea and Tampa Bay’s defensive front, execute cleaner in situational periods and match the intensity the Buccaneers will bring after getting pushed around on Day 1.

Kyle Nash breaks down what worked—and what the Jaguars must prove next.

James Gladstone may only be entering his second season as Jaguars general manager, but 2026 already feels like a make-or-break year. Gladstone has reshaped Jacksonville’s roster around Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence. 

Now his decisions—especially along the offensive line, defensive front and overall roster depth—must produce results. The Jaguars don’t necessarily need a Super Bowl run, but they must show that Gladstone’s vision can build a sustainable winner in Duval. Why could a disappointing season put Gladstone’s future under the microscope?

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ offensive line is about to face one of the NFL’s ultimate power tests: Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea. Vea’s rare combination of size, strength and explosiveness will challenge the Jaguars across the interior. 

For Jacksonville, this matchup is an opportunity to evaluate its communication, double teams, and ability to keep the pocket clean for Trevor Lawrence. What must the Jaguars’ offensive line show against Vea during the joint practice?

The experiment is over: Anton Harrison is officially the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting LEFT TACKLE.

Now the bigger question becomes what happens to the rest of the Jaguars offensive line?

Harrison's move from right tackle puts the former first-round pick in charge of protecting Trevor Lawrence's blind side — but it also creates a major domino effect at right tackle and across an offensive line already dealing with injuries and moving pieces.

With Patrick Mekari injured, Cole Van Lanen returning and Jacksonville continuing to shuffle personnel, Liam Coen and James Gladstone have to figure out the best five before Week 1.

On this Locked On Jaguars Hit, we break down why Harrison at LT could be the right long-term move, what it means for the battle at right tackle and whether Jacksonville can finally settle on an offensive line that gives Trevor Lawrence the protection he needs.

The Jacksonville Jaguars got smacked 34-17 by the Carolina Panthers — and Duval is already sounding the alarms.

Everybody CALM DOWN.

Trevor Lawrence and most of Jacksonville's starters didn't play. Liam Coen and the Jaguars were evaluating the bottom half of the roster, not trying to win a regular-season football game.

Yes, there were problems worth discussing: penalties, turnovers, poor run defense and some disappointing performances from players fighting for roster spots. But does any of that tell us what the 2026 Jaguars will look like when the starters actually take the field?

On this Locked On Jaguars Hit, we separate the legitimate concerns from the preseason panic and explain why Duval doesn't need to freak out over a 34-17 August loss.
