Training camp is around the corner.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will soon be embarking on the month long journey to prepare themselves for the regular season and beyond.

Ahead of the start of training camp and the preseason, here's a look at the potential 53-man roster based on what we've seen from the offseason.

Rank Em!: 5 most important Jacksonville Jaguars for 2026 include the big names

Jaguars potential 53-man roster ahead of training camp

  • While Travis Hunter will be listed twice on this roster, he is counted only once (cornerbacks).

  • (R) denotes rookie.

  • Projected on roster: Trevor Lawrence, Nick Mullens

    Observations: Lawrence's job is safe and it'll take a lot for Bradley or Aguilar to usurp Mullens as the backup. However, the battle for third string QB could heat up throughout training camp. Bradley is the incumbent but the Jaguars promote competition at all levels. It'll be something to watch, especially during joint practices and preseason games.

    From left, Jacksonville Jaguars running back DeeJay Dallas (20), running back J'Mari Taylor (30), and running back Ameer Abdullah (43) huddle during the first day of minicamp at the Miller Electric Center, Tuesday, June 9, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla.

    Projected on roster: Chris Rodriguez Jr., Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen, DeeJay Dallas

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Cuts: Ameer Abdullah, J'Mari Taylor (R)

    Observations: We have yet to see Rodriguez on the field after his injury sidelined him during offseason workouts. The thought is that the Jaguars will use a by committee approach to their running game. Tuten and Allen are expected to step into larger roles in their second season with the team. An underrated battle might be between Dallas and Abdullah as the team's kick returner. Whoever wins that battle will secure their spot on the roster.

    Projected on roster: Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Travis Hunter, Josh Cameron (R), CJ Williams (R)

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Cuts: Brady Boyd (R), Chandler Brayboy, Tim Jones, Ben Patterson, Trebor Pena (R), Austin Trammell, Michael Wortham (R)

    Observations: What a crowded room. Meyers, Thomas and Washington are surefire starters. Hunter's defensive usage might bring his offensive snaps down some, opening the door for someone to get some extra reps. Williams had an impressive offseason and will likely carve out a role with the team. Cameron has special teams value as a returner, likely cementing his spot.

    Projected on roster: Brenton Strange, Nate Boerkircher (R), Quintin Morris, Tanner Koziol (R)

    Cuts: Patrick Herbert, Hunter Long, Ethan Conner (R)

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Observations: Are philosophical changes coming for Coen's offense? That's a joke, but I am curious if we'll see a set with all four of these players on the field at the same time. This position is pretty straightforward with both rookie tight ends making the team in addition to the two guys who received contract extensions from the team this offseason.

    Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon (75) warms up during rookie minicamp at the Miller Electric Center, Saturday, May 9, 2026 in Jacksonville, Fla. Today was the second of a three day camp concluding Sunday.

    Projected on roster: Cole Van Lanen, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison, Walker Little, Emmanuel Pregnon (R), Jonah Monheim, Wyatt Milum, Chuma Edoga

    Cuts: Jerome Carvin, Trystan Colon, Ricky Lee, Jimto Obidegwu, Garrett DiGiorgio (R)

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Observations: I think the team will opt to keep 10 offensive linemen. As they try to solidify the five best starters, they'll need several players who can play multiple positions in reserve spots. As Van Lanen returns from his injury, we'll likely see different combinations across the line throughout camp.

    Defensive line/Edge rusher (9)

    Projected on roster: Josh Hines-Allen, DaVon Hamilton, Arik Armstead, Travon Walker, Ruke Orhorhoro, Albert Regis (R), BJ Green II, Danny Striggow, Wesley Williams (R)

    Cuts: Keivie Rose, Matt Dickerson, Zach Durfee (R), T.J. Bollers (R), Quinton Bohanna, Jalen Hunt (R), Quindarius Dunnigan, Bryan Thomas Jr. (R)

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Observations: This group has heavy expectations placed on their shoulders. With a healthy Travon Walker back in the ranks, position flexibility is key here as well. Several of the players here can play inside or out, giving the team the bodies needed should injuries arise.

    Projected on roster: Foye Oluokun, Ventrell Miller, Dennis Gardeck, Branson Combs, Jack Kiser, Jalen McLeod

    Observations: Another position group that's pretty straightforward. With McLeod back in the mix Abdullah is on the outside looking in. Hughes is the last man in, so he's first man out. He'll be a practice squad candidate though.

    Projected on roster: Travis Hunter, Montaric Brown, Jourdan Lewis, Jarrian Jones, Jabbar Muhammad

    Cuts: Keni-H Lovely, Christian Braswell, Preston Hodge (R), Devon Marshall (R), Dane Jackson

    Observations: Muhammad had as good of a camp as any player on the roster. It's with that logic that the 2025 UDFA makes the team. Lewis and Hunter missed the entire on-field portion of offseason workouts, but they're projected starters. Brown was brought back to be a starter and Jones could find himself amongst the starters depending on how Lewis' recovery goes. Braswell would likely need to have a better camp than Muhammad to make the roster. Lovely and Hodge are longshots who could find themselves in a competition if the team keeps an extra corner.

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Projected on roster: Eric Murray, Antonio Johnson, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane III, Jalen Huskey (R)

    Cuts: Devin Neal Jr. (R), Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig, Trevian Thomas

    Observations: Murray and Johnson are the likely starters here with Ransaw potentially pushing his way into a starting role. Lane is a special teams ace and Huskey is a Day 2 pick from this year's draft. It'd take a something terrible for him to be cut from the roster. Neal, Thomas and Silmon-Craig are likely battling for a practice squad spot after roster cuts are made.

    Projected on roster: Logan Cooke, Cam Little, Ross Matiscik

    AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

    Observations: The kicker who has the two longest field goals in league history is safe. The highest-paid long snapper in league history is safe. The player with the highest net punting average in league history is safe. This is the most clear cut position grouping.
