Jacksonville Jaguars roster depth chart: Who’s on squad entering 2025 NFL training camp

• The Jaguars completed offseason workouts under new head coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone, who has significantly reshaped the roster.
• Second overall pick Travis Hunter practiced on both offense and defense, but his exact role remains unclear.
• Trevor Lawrence is expected to have a better season with improved health and new offensive weapons.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on summer break after completing their offseason workouts under first-year head coach Liam Coen.

The team conducted 15 offseason practices, giving us an early look at how they’ll operate under a new regime. General manager James Gladstone has rebuilt Jacksonville’s roster since his arrival, parting ways with several veteran players while bringing in many new faces in free agency and the NFL Draft.

The Jaguars selected two-way star Travis Hunter No. 2 overall in the draft and fully intend to allow him to play both sides of the ball. They enacted that plan this spring with Hunter spending time in meetings, and on the field, with Jacksonville’s offense and defense.

Hunter’s fit with the Jaguars is still to be determined. It’s not known how much time he’ll spend with each unit, however, Gladstone gave his thoughts on it in a recent interview.

Coen proclaimed when he was hired the team would be built around quarterback Trevor Lawrence. In the months since, that proclamation has rung true.

The Jaguars addressed their offensive line in free agency and brought in several skill players to put around Lawrence this offseason.

Defensively, the Jaguars are trying to flush a poor season down the drain. Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile has implemented his scheme, which players have reacted positively to.

Jacksonville’s secondary will feature a healthy Tyson Campbell along with free agent addition Jourdan Lewis and more players who could see the field based on Hunter’s defensive play time.

Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen still lead the pass rushing group, with linebacker Foye Oluokun still quarterbacking the defense in the middle.

Let’s take a look at how the rest of the team shakes out in our pre-training camp Jaguars’ depth chart:

Jacksonville Jaguars depth chart projection before training camp

Quarterbacks (4)

Starter(s): Trevor Lawrence

Reserves: Nick Mullens, John Wolford, Seth Henigan

Observations: Lawrence is the team’s top quarterback and after a few injury riddled seasons, he’ll be looking to rejoin the league’s top quarterbacks as well. With Coen’s scheme and the talent at receiver, Lawrence should have a better season.

The biggest question going into the year will be his health. Lawrence had season-ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder and went three months without throwing a football. He wore an arm sleeve during the last few offseason practices, but clarified that it was no cause for concern.

Still, Lawrence has limped to the finish line in both of the last two seasons and his team will need him at full strength if they plan on turning around their fortunes.

Running backs (5)

Starter(s): Travis Etienne

Reserves: Tank Bigsby, Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen Jr., Ja’Quinden Jackson

Observations: There’s still a chance that Etienne is moved prior to the start of the season, but the running back room looks a lot different without him. Etienne is now a veteran in the league and can be relied on as the lead back of the team.

It’s something none of the other backs can stake claim to. Bigsby had a strong sophomore campaign, but it remains to see if he’ll be consistent.

Tuten and Allen are both rookies who haven’t experienced the grind of an NFL season. It’d be a big ask for them to take a large slice of Jacksonville’s offense this early in their careers. Certainly a position to keep an eye out for when training camp begins.

Wide receivers (12)

Starter(s): Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown

Reserves: Parker Washington, Joshua Cephus, Louis Rees-Zammit*, Austin Trammell, Trenton Irwin, Cam Camper, JJ Jones, Eli Pancol, Chandler Brayboy.

Observations: Thomas is the headliner here. How will he follow up his historic rookie season? Especially with the additions of Hunter and Brown into the fold.

Brown was one of the best performers this offseason and will carry a share of Jacksonville’s offensive load. Hunter has spent a lot of time with Jacksonville’s offense so far, but we still don’t know what his split will be between offense and defense.

The team moved on from Gabe Davis and didn’t draft a rookie other than Hunter, so they’re comfortable here.

*International Pathway Program Player

Tight ends (7)

Starter(s): Brenton Strange

Reserves: Hunter Long, Johnny Mundt, Shawn Bowman, John Copenhaver, Patrick Herbert, Quentin Morris

Observations: Strange had a strong offseason and will do multiple things in Coen’s system. He’s been toted for his blocking ability, something Coen will lean heavily on in the rushing game.

He’ll likely see career highs in several statistical categories here. Mundt and Long will also be deployed for the offense. It’ll be interesting to see if the Jaguars keep more than three tight ends. If they do, who will they keep between Bowman, Copenhaver, Morris or Herbert.

Herbert made a few plays down the stretch during OTAs to minicamp. It’ll be a position group to watch.

Offensive linemen (15)

Starter(s): Walker Little, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison

Reserves: Fred Johnson, Chuma Edoga, Cole Van Lanen, Luke Fortner, Dennis Daley, Dieter Eiselen, Javon Foster, Wyatt Milum, Jonah Monheim, Sal Wormley, Cooper Hodges*

Observations: The Jaguars have a solidified offensive line. Or do they?

The team could try to spark competition on their line in training camp. We saw the seeds for it planted in OTAs and minicamp, and it could move further in camp.

They could opt to allow Edoga to compete for a starting tackle position. It also wouldn’t be surprising to see Milum push for a starting guard spot?

With new free agents Hainsey and Mekari as likely starters, the Jaguars will need to have the best group they can beside them and in front of Lawrence.

There’s not much evaluating going on during the OTA and minicamp period, so it’ll be interesting to watch it unfold in training camp.

*Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list player

Defensive ends (4)

Starter(s): Josh Hines-Allen, Travon Walker

Reserves: Myles Cole, Dawuane Smoot

Observations: The Jaguars only have these four players listed as defensive ends, but they’ll get help from defensive linemen in reserve capacities.

The group is headlined by Hines-Allen and Walker, who present one of the best combination of pass rushers in the league.

The duo will be joined by Smoot, who rejoins the team after a year with the Buffalo Bills. They also will have Cole who was seen as a project player by the last regime.

Again, don’t be surprised to see several defensive linemen outside as the Jaguars deploy different looks up front.

Defensive line (12)

Starter(s): DaVon Hamilton, Arik Armstead

Reserves: Emmanuel Ogbah, Maason Smith, Tyler Lacy, Jordan Jefferson, Keivie Rose, Eli Mostaert, BJ Green, Ethan Downs, Danny Striggow, James Carpenter

Observations: As previously noted, several of these players will see time across multiple positions on the defensive line.

Armstead and Hamilton will likely be starters, but don’t be surprised to see Smith in the mix when training camp begins. Lacy is also someone to watch, not necessarily as a starter, but potentially as someone who could see more position flexibility than he did with the last coaching staff.

The key here is depth and the Jaguars have plenty of it.

Linebackers (9)

Starter(s): Foye Oluokun, Devin Lloyd, Ventrell Miller

Reserves: Chad Muma, Yasir Abdullah, Jack Kiser, Branson Combs, Jalen McLeod, Dennis Gardeck

Observations: The Jaguars didn’t pick up Lloyd’s fifth-year option. However, he was praised by Coen during minicamp for consistently spending extra time in the building.

Oluokun will still be in the middle of the defense and will be a leader for the team. Miller will likely see a lot of the field after his strong second season in the league.

Gardeck will be a change of pace backer with the ability to get after the quarterback. Abdullah and McLeod will be brought along as the same.

Cornerbacks (11)

Starter(s): Travis Hunter, Tyson Campbell, Jourdan Lewis

Reserves: Jarrian Jones, Buster Brown, De’Antre Prince, Christian Braswell, Zechariah McPhearson, Doneiko Slaughter, Jabbar Muhammad, Aydan White

Observations: This projects to be one of Jacksonville’s strongest position groups which is not something we would’ve said before the draft. But that’s the impact Hunter can have here if he’s featured a lot on this side of the ball.

Alongside a healthy Campbell and veteran Lewis, Hunter could be the missing piece for the Jaguars. If the team brings him along a bit slower, players like Buster Brown or Jarrian Jones will see more time on the field.

Then there’s Prince who’s going into his second season with the Jaguars. Depending on his camp, he could also be a player who sees time depending on Hunter’s progression.

Safeties (8)

Starter(s): Eric Murray, Andrew Wingard

Reserves: Darnell Savage, Antonio Johnson, Daniel Thomas, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane III, Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig

Observations: As we said in our last depth chart prediction after the NFL Draft, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Caleb Ransaw among the starters when the regular season begins.

The organization is high on the rookie defensive back as he makes the transition from nickel corner to safety.

It’s hard to gauge what the team thinks of Darnell Savage. He’s garnered praise from the coaching staff, but he spent time with multiple units during the offseason. It’s minicamp and OTAs so it might not matter, but maybe it does.

If the starters in Week 1 are Wingard and Murray, it wouldn’t be shocking. But if Savage was still a starter by then, that wouldn’t be a surprise either.

Safety is quietly one of the biggest question marks going into training camp.

Specialists (3)

Starter(s): Cam Little, Logan Cooke, Ross Matiscik

Reserves: N/A

Observations: Some of the best at their position. Cooke’s contract extension proves that. Little will be back for his second season with the team and Matiscik is as consistent as they come.
