The Jaguars kept shuffling bodies around up front in Thursday’s training camp practice, and the right side of the offensive line got the biggest workout yet.
Jacksonville has already been testing out different looks this summer, including Anton Harrison getting work at left tackle while Cole Van Lanen is out and Walker Little sliding over to right tackle. Liam Coen said Harrison has handled the switch well, noting, "I think he’s done a nice job," Coen said of Harrison."It’s part of what we’ve done, moving those guys around and seeing what sticks and if that ends up sticking, hopefully that’s a good thing for us."
Thursday took that approach a step further. According to John Shipley of Jaguars on SI, Wyatt Milum was used at right tackle with Little at right guard, while Chuma Edoga also logged snaps at right tackle.
There was another variation on that same side, too, with Milum at tackle and rookie Emmanuel Pregnon at guard.
The Jaguars are doing more than just stirring up competition. The constant movement also gives them insurance if injuries hit, because the staff can lean on more combinations and more players if needed.
For now, the team is still sorting out which mix might stick. And one thing that could matter down the line is how this group performs in the run game in 2026.
That’s the bigger picture here: the Jaguars aren’t just looking for five good linemen. They’re trying to find the five who fit best together and turn the front into one cohesive unit.

Jaguars Scrimmage Just Made Two Roster Fights A Lot More Serious
Two weeks into training camp, the Jaguars have gotten enough work in to start separating the crowded jobs from the truly unsettled ones, and the recent scrimmage put a few of those competitions under the microscope. The strong side linebacker battle between Jalen McLeod and Yasir Abdullah has been one of the more watchable fights so far, while the running back group is still in the mix as the roster begins to take shape.
Up front, the offensive line picture is becoming just as important because of the health concerns around Cole Van Lanen, Patrick Mekari and Walker Little. Those injuries are forcing the Jaguars to think carefully about depth and how they want to line up the rest of camp, especially with so much still in flux on both sides of the ball. [Read more 🡒]
Jaguars Suddenly Face A Trevor Lawrence Protection Concern In Camp
The Jaguars kept working to shore up Trevor Lawrences protection on Saturday, adding veteran offensive lineman Geron Christian as camp injuries continued to thin out the group in front of him. To make the roster move, Jacksonville placed rookie Garrett DiGiorgio on the Reserve/Injured list, ending his season before it really got going, a reminder of how quickly the depth chart can change once the pads come on.
It is the kind of roster adjustment teams hope not to make this early, but the Jaguars have little choice with several veteran linemen already banged up or limited in practice. Walker Littles absence from Saturdays walkthrough only added to the concern, turning what had been a routine camp story into one worth watching closely as Jacksonville tries to keep its quarterback upright.
