The Jaguars are excited to get back in action after winning the AFC South last year and finishing 13-4. Liam Coen returns for his second season as head coach, and Grant Udinski is back for his second season as well. Trevor Lawrence returns at quarterback. Jacksonville lost its top running back, Travis Etienne Jr., to the Saints and will rely on Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr., who comes over from the Commanders. The Jaguars also return their top three receivers: Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington. Tight end Brenton Strange also returns as a primary target. Up front, Jacksonville brings back Anton Harrison, Robert Hainsey, Ezra Cleveland, Cole Van Lanen, and Walker Little, while welcoming Daniel Faalele from the Giants and Oregon rookie Emmanuel Pregnon, who is projected to start at left guard.

Anthony Campanile is back for his second year as defensive coordinator. The Jaguars return nine of their top eleven tacklers from a year ago. Travon Walker, Da’Von Hamilton, Arik Armstead, Josh Hines-Allen, Foyesade Oluokun, and Dennis Gardeck return to a front seven that also welcomes Ruke Orhorhoro from Atlanta and Jahlani Tavai from New England. The secondary returns Montaric Brown, Travis Hunter, Antonio Johnson, Eric Murray, and Jourdan Lewis.

Heath Farwell is back for his fifth season as special teams coordinator. Cam Little returns after connecting on 88% of his kicks, including an NFL record-setting 68-yarder. Logan Cooke returns as punter. Parker Washington returns as punt returner after taking two back to the house in 2025. Bhayshul Tuten will return kickoffs along with LeQuint Allen. The Jaguars staff did a tremendous job in its first season. The Jaguars are solid in the trenches, and the real question mark entering the season is how Tuten handles an increased workload following Etienne’s departure.
