JACKSONVILLE – Jaguars 2026 Training Camp continued Friday.

It was the third day of the second training camp under Head Coach Liam Coen, featuring a two-hour practice in helmets and light pads at the Miller Electric Center. Each day throughout camp, members of Jaguars Media – senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton, team reporter Kainani Stevens and correspondent John Shipley – will share an observation.

Here are Friday's "campservations:"

Oehser…

• Day 3 featured a few trends coming clear – and that's good news for the Jaguars. One trend through three '26 camp practices is quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the entire offense are significantly ahead of where they were this time last season. That's expected in Year 2 in Head Coach Liam Coen's offensive system, but seeing what was expected become reality is a major positive during this early unpadded, "acclimation" period of camp. While Lawrence and the offense were a bit sloppy on Day 1, the chemistry and smoothness in the passing game have been clear the last two days. It's also clear that the Jaguars' receiving corps is dramatically ahead of where it was this time last season. Veteran Parker Washington has been so consistent and productive early that it has become redundant to note it each day, and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has continued his impressively consistent – and at times, spectacular – performance from the offseason program. Defensively, end Travon Walker has stood out early and has been dominant at times. That's a lot of encouraging signs from a lot of front-line players at critical positions, and that's a good way to start camp.

Sexton…

• B.J. Green II listened last spring when Coen said he wanted Walker to play so hard in practice that he is a problem for coaches. The second-year defensive end approached Coen Friday during a practice in which he attacked the pocket and stressed offensive tackles and tight ends. "He asked me today, 'What does it take to get kicked out of practice?''' Coen said. "Not in a bad way, but in a way that I am disruptive (in a way you have to take him off the field). It's on his mind in terms of taking the next step. It was a cool moment, and you can tell B.J. wants to make an impact on this team. He has worked his tail off to get to this point and we're seeing it every day." Green is explosive and Coen said it isn't just off the edge. The Jaguars are excited by how Green has set the edge against the run and forced the ball either to the sideline or into the teeth of the defense. "He can get underneath your pads," Coen said. "He's kind of a problem for tight ends, especially at the point of attack when he gets underneath them." Green isn't the only young edge who has shown early in camp, with Danny Striggow and rookie Wesley Williams both looking like guys who can give defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile multiple options pressuring quarterbacks.

Stevens…

• The physicality arrived on Day 3 as the defense made several big-time plays. Walker was relentless at the line of scrimmage and got to the quarterbacks several times for "would-be" sacks in a real game. Cornerback Jarrian Jones was outstanding with two interceptions and a pass breakup during team periods. Coen noted in his Friday media availability that Jones plays his best when he follows his instincts, and Jones showcased that Friday. There was a noticeable increase in intensity overall from both sides of the ball as good competition remains the focus at this point in camp.

• Friday was another back-and-forth day at the MEC, with the Jaguars' pass-catchers and secondary trading blows throughout the day. Lawrence was able to get into a red-zone rhythm, throwing a tight-window touchdown to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers before hitting Thomas for two red-zone touchdowns shortly thereafter. Lawrence also threw a touchdown pass to running back Bhayshul Tuten during the same period. Lawrence led the offense down the field during an end-of-half drill at the end of practice, then finished his day with a touchdown pass to Washington. The defense had its moments, too. Jones intercepted two passes and had another pass break-up in the end zone. The Jaguars have emphasized battles through the air during camp's early stages, and the secondary and pass-catching group have both had their own moments to shine.
