Mandatory minicamp will take place for the Jacksonville Jaguars from June 9-11. This is often the last big milestone in the NFL offseason calendar before training camp arrives in late July.
Through the first two weeks of OTA practices, we’ve gained some valuable insights into where things stand on the depth chart, along with who may be standing out early on, but questions at each position group remain, and that’s normal at this time of the year. It won’t be until training camp and the preseason take place that playing time and final roster decisions are made.
So as part of our Jaguars‘ minicamp preview, let’s highlight the one big question facing each position group. Up next are the running backs.
Through the two OTA practices that have been open to the media, Chris Rodriguez has not practiced, according to SI’s John Shipley. This has allowed Bhayshul Tuten to shoulder the top running back reps.
Tuten brings impressive speed and home run ability with the ball in his hands to the Jaguars‘ backfield. While Rodriguez brings added physicality and has proven to be difficult to bring down.
That being said, while on paper, someone will end up as RB1, we should expect to see a heavy rotation at this position in Liam Coen’s offense. Both Tuten and Rodriguez are expected to factor into the run game, while LeQuint Allen will continue to have a regular role on passing downs.
From a skill set perspective, this is a very well-rounded unit that GM James Gladstone has constructed.
A more consistent run game in 2026 is one key way that this Jaguars’ offense can take another step forward. Accomplishing that falls on the offensive line as well.
