The Jacksonville Jaguars have concluded their three-day mandatory minicamp, with head coach Liam Coen praising the team's progress, particularly in the passing game and defensive secondary.
Coen likes how the team has progressed since the start of the offseason program in May, mentioning that there are only so many things the team can do on the grass without much contact or pads.
The team's secondary has played well during minicamp, breaking up numerous passes, with Coen complimenting the work of new defensive pass game coordinator Mathieu Araujo.
Coen said the team has taken steps in the right direction in terms of the pass game, with guys making plays in one-on-one situations and the timing and spacing improving.
Receiver Jakobi Meyers has continued to build his connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, with Coen praising the team's progress in the passing game.
The Jaguars will return to the practice field on Monday, June 15 for the team's final OTA of the offseason program, standing 6th in the American Football Conference with a 12-5 record.
The team's next game is vs Cleveland Browns on 2026-09-13, and Coen is looking to build on the team's progress in the passing game and defensive secondary.
Defensive end Travon Walker has progressed nicely through minicamp, with Coen challenging him to dominate and Walker answering the call.
The Jaguars' tight ends unit is expected to reap rewards in Coen's offense this year, with the team relying on them more than they did last season.
Walker missed multiple games last year due to injuries, but has continued to progress and appears back to his usual self, with Coen impressed with his progress.
Coen has been impressed with Walker's progress, saying he showed up in a big way, especially when the team got into competitive situations.
