The Carolina Panthers made a move to acquire wide receiver/returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette from the Kansas City Chiefs in a deal involving a swap of conditional 2025 seventh-round draft picks.

Jared Goff threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, leading the surging Detroit Lions to a 34-23 win over the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings.

The NFL's new league year begins on March 16 at 4 p.m. That means the official start of free agency. How do the Jaguars look entering that stretch and who are some players they could target?

Urban Meyer has emphasized a fast offense with speed all over the field. The reality is that the Jaguars don’t have much of it and that is becoming more and more evident by the week as Jacksonville’s offense trudges along.

DJ Chark suffered an ankle injury during Jacksonville’s game on Thursday night and is out for the night.

The first cut day. Trevor is up and down. A high-intensity practice. More from Tuesday's training camp.

“The savior has arrived,” a fan yelled from the stands during Sunday’s scrimmage.

Time to put on the pads. Tuesday was the first practice in full pads for the Jaguars. No full tackling to the ground was allowed, but more contact than we have seen to this point in camp.

STAY CALM!  It is really not that bad, Monday was not a great day for Trevor Lawrence.  Lawrence threw 3 interceptions during the team period of practice.

A new coaching staff brings with it new schemes on offense and defense. What will the Jaguars look like on the field and how many will should we expect?

Former Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith was not a fan of how his former teammate was treated as a coach with Jacksonville last year.

The Jaguars (1-14) already set a team record for consecutive losses (14) and an NFL record for consecutive games allowing at least 24 points (also 14). Coach Doug Marrone and his staff could be next, possibly within hours of the season finale. Marrone said Wednesday that quarterback Mike Glennon will start the finale instead of Gardner Minshew. I don’t try to look too far (ahead) and I don’t try to look too back in the past.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s still a loss, but the Jaguars didn’t play like a team that’s going in the tank on Sunday against the Texans. But I want to focus on the quarterback spot and the play from rookie quarterback Jake Luton, a sixth-round pick from Oregon State. Luton got DJ Chark back into the mix and Chark had been off the radar for weeks and out of sync with Minshew. I think that Luton, with what he showed against the Texans, certainly has earned another week of starting. I think the Jaguars should give him another chance and see what he can do.

The Jaguars played far better than they had before the break, but the slide continued on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. Jacksonville’s 27-25 loss to the Texans marked the seventh consecutive since a Week 1 win over the Colts. The Jaguars had three drives to try and tie things up in the final quarter and nearly did. The Jaguars visit Green Bay next week, the first team in a rugged second half schedule. Luton got the call to start over the Jaguars bye week when X-rays revealed fractures in the thumb of Minshew.

The Jaguars (1-4) host Detroit (1-3) on Sunday and plan to play as scheduled, but as a precaution, the Jaguars will be conducting all football-related activities remotely. The Jaguars are the fourth NFL team to deal with COVID issues in recent days, joining Atlanta, Indianapolis and New England. The Colts had four positive tests that came up negative upon retesting. Coach Doug Marrone listed Chark as questionable for the game. If he can’t play, Chark would be sidelined for the second time in four weeks.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – So far, this Jaguars' season has been like going to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with no expectations. When the season began, I thought this was, maybe, a four-win team. If the Jaguars had lost 33-30, as they did in Nashville, I wouldn’t feel the way I do. To be fair, it would have been easy to see the Jaguars lose their first two games and then win against the Dolphins. The two biggest storylines of this season are answering if Garner Minshew is the franchise quarterback and whether the Jaguars have enough young foundation pieces for the future.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Some Jaguars fans dont have high expectations for the team this season, but maybe Jacksonvilles first game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday could change some minds. "But I dont think that anyone that really, really supports us would be surprised.The Jaguars have had an offseason full of change and not just because of COVID-19. I [havent been] paying attention, so maybe it motivates us, but I really think our attention isnt on that," Chark said. While fans have been talking about tanking, the Jaguars are talking about winning. I understand it, but I really think that this team can be special, I really do.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A breakout season for DJ Chark isnt going to change him, but it will change how other young receivers look at him. But honestly, Im still looking at Coach McCardell because hes done it multiple times. So, Im looking at Coach McCardell as a leader for me.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars players, front office staff, their family and friends joined their voices with others across the nation Friday when they marched in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. A crowd of about 300 demonstrators met up in front of TIAA Bank Field, most wearing black-and-white Black Lives Matter T-shirts. But for 41 years I’ve been a black man, so it’s very important that I use my platform to let everyone know that black lives do matter,” Wilford said. The movement since Arbery’s death and that of George Floyd in Minneapolis, has pushed the cause forward. That’s true history.”NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday also posted a video on social media condemning racism and the systematic oppression of black people.

Here are 10 things that Ive learned about the Jaguars through the first nine weeks of the season. If there is one position group that needed a major emergence this season, it was the wide receivers. Will the Jaguars play two regular season home games in London next season. Conveniently, the Jaguars will play four games against those five teams in the final seven weeks of the season. In other words, the Jaguars can play a big role in determining their playoff chances.

Getty ImagesJACKSONVILLE, Fla. - No NFL team has played in London more than the Jaguars. While much of the Jaguars' roster has experienced the trip to London, only seven of this year's starters have started in a game in England. If the Jaguars are going to have an edge against the Texans, it may be that they learned from last years' cavalier approach to the London nightlife. "You're talking about a guy that's a Hall of Fame player, that's a great football player," Marrone said. The Jaguars faced the Texans in Week 2 in Houston, losing 13-12 when the Jaguars could not convert a two-point conversion with 30 seconds left in the game.

He had eight receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns and his ability to catch, and hang on to passes, is getting better by the game. When you look at that production from those three main offensive weapons, that's a highly productive day. There is only one statistic that really matters in an NFL game and thats the number of turnovers a team either gets or gives. Our young quarterback is truly a competitor, and hes only going to get better. Remember, this is only the fourth start in his NFL career, and with each game, hes learning how to play at this level.

Getty ImagesThe Jaguars went to Houston shorthanded and came inches shy of a win. If the Jaguars had won Sunday, they would have been in a first-place tie in the AFC South. The Jaguars committed 10 penalties last week in the loss against Kansas City. With the Jaguars offensive line struggling in pass protection, he has to get rid of the ball sooner, or tuck it and run. Seven receptions, several of them tough catches, for 55 yards and the only Jaguars' touchdown of the game.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA - Nick Foles' first start with the Jaguars didn't even make it to halftime. Doug Marrone said that Foles' injury was a broken left clavicle. Bbut at the same time I'm going to stay positive and trust the good Lord in this time," Foles said. For comparison, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone in 2013 and missed seven games. Foles has endured a rash of injuries in his career, including a broken collarbone in 2014 and a broken right hand in 2012.

Don't expect to see the starters and many key backups play as the final roster cuts are due by 4 p.m. Saturday. A big performance in the final preseason game could mean the difference between a roster spot and a practice squad invitation for any of the trio. Don't be surprised to see the Jaguars do some free agent shopping at this position after the final cuts are released. A big return or two could change his resume for the final roster.

Last season, Westbrook had 717 yards and five touchdowns. Westbrook has been a consistent standout, making at least one play that made fans say "wow," every day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jaguars changed things up on Day 8 of training camp and hit the field at TIAA Bank Field to scrimmage. The starting offense faced off with the starting defense for multiple drives. The play of the day was when Nick Foles hit DJ Chark deep down the sideline and Chark made what hade to be the best catch of training camp so far. After practice Jaguars, defensive coordinator Todd Wash said I thought it was a solid day we had a way too many penalties, thats the No. Marrone says he has a pulled hamstring and they will prepare like they will be without him for the first game.
