The Jaguars returned to the practice field Monday facing a number of questions as they enter the final stretch of training camp. After largely skirting any volume of injuries early in camp, the Jaguars returned from Detroit facing a slew of medical questions.
Jacksonville wraps up its preseason slate on Saturday at EverBank Stadium against the Dolphins, and the goal for coach Doug Pederson is to get his starters their most extended playing time yet. The plan right now is for the projected starters to play the first half. Even with injuries piling up, Pederson said that there’s no reason to change things because there’s no way to replicate in-game experience.
“I can’t really worry too much about who gets hurt and this and that. If I do, then people get hurt,” Pederson said. “I just think you practice and play just like you’re getting ready for a regular season game and our starters need some time together on the field. They’ll get that opportunity this week, and I’ll monitor it. I’ll be on top of that too, so if I need to pull them out, I’ll pull them out. Right now, it’s still full steam ahead.”
Several players were dinged up during joint practices with the Lions. The preseason game was tough, too, especially on the offensive line.
