- Jacksonville Jaguars camp observations: Offense has sloppy day with penalties, turnovers
It was the final day Jacksonville Jaguars fans can watch training camp, and it was not a pretty sight for the offense.
Around 1,500 fans at the Miller Electric Center on Tuesday, Aug. 5, saw the offense commit five penalties (including two false starts on tackle Fred Johnson , who was flagged for two false starts in last week's scrimmage), turn the ball over on a Trevor Lawrence interception (his fourth in camp and the second practice in a row with a pick) and the offensive line likely give up what likely would have been four sacks under game conditions.

On the final play of the scrimmage, quarterback John Wolford lost the handle on a snap as he was about to pitch to a running back, and fell on the ball. At that point, coach Liam Coen called for an end to practice.
The Jaguars will practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 6 and 7, before a day off and the opening preseason game at EverBank Stadium on Aug. 9 (7 p.m., WFOX-30).
Before that, Coen said that in the next two practices, he would like to see "a little bit more discipline" on the offensive line.
"Today was our worst day, in a while, up front," he said of the offensive line.
