Lawrence Trusts Progress, Starters Hold Back | Jacksonville Jaguars News

Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars’ starters are riding high after a grueling but productive joint practice against the Panthers, with Lawrence praising the team’s progress—especially in the run game and big plays—even if it’s not flawless. Head Coach Liam Coen is still weighing whether to let the starters play in Friday’s preseason tilt, wanting to review Wednesday’s tape before making a call within 24 hours, prioritizing continuity over risk. Lawrence trusts the coach’s judgment, calling the joint sessions “a little bit more like a game” despite still wearing red and avoiding contact. The team’s momentum continues with upcoming practices against the Saints and Buccaneers, as Lawrence notes daily improvements in energy and physicality. If starters sit out, backup Nick Mullens will start—still working through offensive line issues but showing promise when protection clicks, earning Coen’s confidence.
