- Jacksonville Jaguars observations: Camp's first big fight; offense shines on physical day
The Jacksonville Jaguars had their longest padded practice of the preseason Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Miller Electric Center, working for two hours under a relentless sun, with no breeze.
Despite the heat, the offense bounced back and had one of its most mistake-free practices of the past week.

However, the heat may also have caused tempers to erupt, and midway through the scrimmage, two rookies, seventh-round draft pick running back LeQuint Allen Jr. and undrafted free agent linebacker Branson Combs , squared off and exchanged blows before they were separated.
It was the first training camp scuffle that went beyond a push and a shove.
Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile didn't seem worried and, in a way, embraced the brief exchange.
"That's a good thing. It means guys usually are competing," he said. "You don't want guys fighting all day and wrecking the practice. There's not time for that. But sometimes tempers flare usually that means there's emotion out there. That's not a bad thing. Guys are getting heated and competing. That's a good thing."

Jaguars offense notes
-
After a sloppy preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and more mistakes in the Aug. 11 practice, the offense had an efficient day. There were no presnap penalties and no drops among the wide receivers, with the bobbles coming from tight end Brenton Strange and Allen.
-
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 16 of 25 passes and ended the day with a TD pass to tight end Johnny Mundt in the corner of the end zone from about 12 yards out. Nick Mullens was eight of 10 and John Wolford was four of five.
-
Seth Henigan, fighting for a practice squad spot at quarterback, fumbled a snap for the fourth time in camp.
-
Rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten broke off a run around the right side and beat Christian Braswell to the end zone.
-
Wide receiver Parker Washington continues to shine and it never matters who's throwing to him. Washington caught one pass over the shoulder against Jourdan Lewis in a 1-on-1 period and ran a nice outside route to catch another from Lawrence in a team period.
-
One of the best passes of the day was a deep ball from Mullens to Austin Trammell when Mullens was setting up in his own end zone. Trammell beat Darnell Savage on the play.
