Jaguars' OC Grant Udinski on what it's like working with Travis Hunter
On the latest episode of 'NFL Spotlight' with Ari Meirov, Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive coordinator discussed what it was like working with Travis Hunter, who is playing both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. "He's been an injection of energy into not just the offense, but I think the team," Udinski said. "What you see on TV of him dancing around or bringing the juice and all of that energy to practice, that is genuine. That's the real deal right there. Advertisement "He's a lot of fun to be around, not only because he brings that energy but because he is a football guy in the sense that he loves football, wants to be great, willing to work, wants to talk about things, wants to go over things." Since arriving in Jacksonville, Hunter has been in both the offensive and defensive meeting rooms, learning both playbooks and the terminology of each scheme. But on the practice field, most of Hunter's playing time up to this point has come at wide receiver. That was the plan from the start, and GM James Gladstone added recently that the team views cornerback as Hunter's more natural position. I would also add that the team likely wanted Hunter to get a jump start on what is a robust playbook under Liam Coen. Advertisement The next step for Hunter in his progression will be practicing on both offense and defense regularly during the same practice. For most of OTAs and minicamp, Hunter was either on offense or defense on a given day. Now, how exactly Coen and the Jaguars plan to divvy up those practice reps for Hunter remains to be seen. "Like Liam said," added Udinski, "I know he's mentioned it multiple times, he can run all day. So he's out there excited about practice, and he's practicing hard for the entire time he's practicing. That's exciting for me as a coach to be a part of that to let alone have a guy like that to get to work with. "I'm excited about the challenges of splitting time between offense and defense and the many different roles that he'll play on our team and if there's a guy that can do it, I'm excited about seeing him approach that challenge."

Jacksonville Jaguars full training camp schedule with veterans and rookies having arrived
With rookies and veterans now both at training camp, here is a look at the Jaguars full schedule over the next few weeks. The Jacksonville Jaguars' rookies reported for training camp on July 19th, and the veterans will arrive today, July 22nd. With the Jaguars' first practice taking place on July 23rd, let's take a look at the team's full training camp schedule. All players, before the first practice and as mandated by the CBA, will undergo a physical upon their arrival to be medically cleared to participate. If a player is not cleared, they will be placed on either the Non-Football Injury (NFI) or Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) lists, where they will remain until activated, which can take place at any time once the player is healthy. Training camp is the time of the year when much of the attention is on training camp battles, whether it be for playing time or a roster spot, and with so much roster turnover this offseason, the Jaguars have a number of competitions worth watching closely. Jaguars' training camp practices will be held at the Miller Electric Center. Below is a look at the dates and times for each open practice this summer. Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 training camp schedule In addition to the Jaguars' three preseason games, Jacksonville will also host an offense (teal) vs. defense (white) scrimmage on August 1st at EverBank Stadium. Then, before the Jaguars' preseason finale in Miami, they will take part in a joint practice with the Dolphins on August 21st.

Report: Free agent WR DJ Chark visits with Bears
Free agent wide receiver DJ Chark recently visited the Chicago Bears, NFL Network reported Monday. He spent the past three seasons with three different teams after playing his first four campaigns in Jacksonville. Chark was a second-round pick by the Jaguars in 2018 and made the Pro Bowl with a 1,008-yard season in 2019. He caught just four passes for 31 yards and one touchdown in seven games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024. With NFL teams reporting for training camp this week, Chark said he is still weighing his options. "It depends," he said, per NFL Network. "It will have to be something that makes sense, from a family perspective and also from an X's and O's perspective. Getting up and going to any team just for the excitement -- I'll always love the game, but at this point, putting myself and my family in a great position is what's ideal for me." Chark has 216 catches for 3,100 yards and 24 TDs in 76 games (51 starts) for the Jaguars (2018-21), Detroit Lions (2022), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Chargers. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Texas Fury Texans and Jaguars Elite win titles at NFL Flag Championships
Associated Press CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The Texas Fury Texans and Jaguars Elite won titles in the NFL Flag Championships on Sunday. The Texans beat the Bad Rabbits Cowboys 19-0 to win the High School Girls division. The Jaguars beat Showtime 13-0 to take the 14U Boys championship. Emery Beckett completed all eight of her pass attempts in the title game for the Texans, throwing two touchdown passes to Zahra Hill and one to Kelsey Quinn. Their coach, Keenan Hughes, was recently hired as the first coach for the women's flag football team at Concordia University in Austin, Texas. The Jaguars were led by tournament MVP Brysen Wright, whose one-handed catch earlier in the event drew an incredulous social media response from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 14-year-old Wright scored 10 touchdowns in seven games. "It's a fast-paced, exciting and explosive game,' Jaguars coach David Price said. 'I think guys like Brysen are really going to help get more eyes on the sport.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
