Jaguars 53-man roster projection after first week of the preseason

The Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up their first week of preseason action after a joint practice with the New Orleans Saints. With many starters resting during the first preseason game, the coaching staff leaned on live reps to evaluate players ahead of cut-down day on Aug. 30. Jacksonville came back from a first-half deficit to score 18 unanswered points and win 24-20 against New Orleans. A projected 53-man roster update highlights quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens, with Carter Bradley, Joey Aguilar (R), and others listed as cuts. At running back, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen, and J’Mari Taylor (R) are projected. The projection also notes wide receiver and tight end competition, plus expectations for a stronger backup behind Lawrence.
