With training camp getting close, the Jaguars’ wide receiver room already has a pretty clear shape to it. Jacksonville is expected to carry six receivers, and the top four names are easy to pencil in: Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter.
That group forms the core of the unit heading into camp, and there isn’t much mystery there. Those four are the roster locks, and they’re the players expected to drive the position this season.
The more interesting part is what happens behind them. Josh Cameron and CJ Williams both made enough noise during offseason work to put themselves in position to stick.
They’re later Day 3 picks, though, which means nothing is handed to them. With limited offensive snaps available, special teams could end up being the separator, and that’s where veterans like Austin Trammell and Tim Jones bring real value because of their experience in that phase.
Even so, both Cameron and Williams look like strong bets to make the final cut. They’re not quite in the absolute-lock category, but they’re close enough that Jacksonville appears likely to keep them around.
That leads to the bigger roster question: five or six receivers? Some teams would trim it down to five, but Hunter’s two-way role makes six feel like the more likely number for Jacksonville. Add in the way Williams and Cameron have performed, and the Jaguars seem set up to carry the extra body.
So the prediction here is straightforward: Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Travis Hunter, CJ Williams and Josh Cameron make the 53-man roster.
That would leave Trammell and Jones on the outside, though not necessarily out of the picture. One or both could land on the practice squad and be elevated on game days if Jacksonville needs help on special teams.

Bhayshul Tuten Suddenly Feels Like The Jaguars Answer At Running Back
Bhayshul Tuten has gone from a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to a player the Jaguars are suddenly treating like a real answer at running back. The former North Carolina A&T and Virginia Tech back arrived with a reputation for finding the end zone, and he has already climbed the Jacksonville depth chart enough to sit as the lead option heading into 2026, a notable turn for a player who entered the league without the kind of fanfare that usually comes with that label.
The interesting part now is less about how he got here than whether he can hold the spot. Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen are in the mix, and the backfield picture is still crowded enough to keep the Jaguars from settling too quickly. For a team that has spent time sorting through options at the position, Tutens rise gives them a possible long-term fit, but the competition around him suggests this is still a job that has to be won again.

Jaguars Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Travis Hunters Look
Travis Hunters first NFL season in Jacksonville was short, but it still gave fans a clear glimpse of why the Jaguars spent a first-round pick on him in 2025. He got on the field at both cornerback and wide receiver before a knee injury cut things off early, and even with the year ending sooner than anyone wanted, the expectation remains that he will keep working in both roles as the Jaguars lean more heavily on him on defense.
Recently posted photos from Hunters rookie year and offseason quickly became a talking point because his look has changed enough to get peoples attention. The images show a bulked-up frame and a new hairstyle, and for Jaguars fans already eager to see how he fits into the next stage of his development, it is another reminder that Hunter is still evolving before he has even settled into a full pro season.

Jaguars Believe This New Coaching System Can Finally Fix A Longtime Problem
The Jaguars have spent years looking for a cleaner way to develop players, and this offseason they settled on a system built around clarity. Their new Three Better/Three Best approach asks coaches to identify three strengths and three weaknesses for each player, then use video and one-on-one meetings to lay out a simple path for improvement. It is the kind of structure that can sound almost too straightforward, but inside the building it has been welcomed as a more direct way to connect teaching with actual growth.
The idea traces back to Liam Coen, who brought it with him as part of the program he sold to Jacksonville, and it has quickly become a central part of how the staff talks about development. Coaches have embraced the process because it gives every player a defined focus instead of a vague list of fixes, and the early response has been encouraging enough to make the approach feel less like a slogan and more like a real attempt to solve one of the franchises longstanding issues. The bigger question is how far that clarity can carry once the season starts and the work gets harder. [Read more 🡒]
