Summary
Three straight red-zone touchdowns highlighted one of Trevor Lawrence's sharpest camp practices, with the Jaguars quarterback also hitting deep throws despite one interception and a pair of overthrows.
Brian Thomas Jr. emerged again as Jacksonville's top target, consistently separating and finishing a key first-down catch through contact while Parker Washington remained out for a second day.
Jarrian Jones helped check Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan on one notable pass breakup, reinforcing Jacksonville's belief it can deploy four starting-caliber cornerbacks together in passing situations.
Ezra Cleveland set the tone at right guard in a physical session, while coach Liam Coen praised the offense's toughness and backed Nick Mullens after the backup's strong two-day rebound.
The practice also sharpened roster battles: Wyatt Milum's injury and Cleveland's form cloud the right-guard race, while big days from Tanner Koziol and Nate Boerkircher tightened the fight for tight-end spots.
