Jaguars Defense Snags 3 Picks on Day 6, Winning 6 of 9 Red-Zone Reps

Summary
Three interceptions and several would-be sacks defined Jacksonville’s sixth camp practice, with Antonio Johnson, Jarrian Jones and Eric Murray taking picks as the defense repeatedly disrupted Trevor Lawrence.
Six of nine red-zone reps went to Anthony Campanile’s unit, while the offense never found much rhythm and struggled to run between the tackles during the second straight padded session.
Parker Washington still stood out for the offense, looking unguardable in 1-on-1 work, while sixth-round rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams flashed and Ameer Abdullah ripped off consecutive long runs.
Jared Bartlett was carted off with an apparent right leg injury, though Anton Harrison stayed in after getting nicked up and Lawrence’s throwing-shoulder sleeve was described as workload-related.
Campanile said the group is trying to build a more physical, violent-finishing identity, with veteran defensive line coach Pete Jenkins attending practice as a special guest adviser.
