- Jacksonville Jaguars training camp observations: Team has light day with Saints game on deck
The Jacksonville Jaguars had a relatively light training camp practice on Friday, Aug. 15, at the Miller Electric Center, lasting less than 90 minutes in helmets and shorts, and with the team periods not much more than glorified walk-throughs.
But after a heavy day in full pads on Thursday lasting two hours, and with the preseason game at New Orleans on Sunday (1 p.m., WJAX-47), it was predictable.
Brian Thomas Jr., tracks down a pass during the Jacksonville Jagaurs training camp on Aug. 15 at the Miller Electric Center.
The practice was also highly efficient for the offense. After eight dropped passes and six penalties in the scrimmage the day before, there were no drops and no penalties in 67 plays covering four periods, three 11-on-11 and one 7-on-7.

The periods focused mostly on red zone and goal-line situations.
The only drawback to the day was the absence of rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, who was held out as a precaution with an upper-body injury.
