The Jaguars are already lining up two looks for the 2026 season, and that alone has sparked a little uniform-watch buzz in Jacksonville.
This Sunday against the New England Patriots, the Jaguars will wear the Prowler Throwbacks for the first time this season. The team also announced the Prowlers will be back on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. With those two appearances now on the board, one familiar combination that has been missing the last two seasons starts to feel like a real possibility: the all-black uniforms.
The NFL lets teams wear alternate jerseys up to four times in a season, and Jacksonville has only two of those slots spoken for right now. Along with the Prowlers in Week 3 and Week 14, the Jaguars will also wear their Nike Rivalries jerseys on Nov. 1 against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. That game does not count toward the alternate-uniform limit.
So there are still two games left unaccounted for, which leaves the door open for a few different paths. The Jaguars could decide to use the Prowlers two more times later in the year. Or they could reach back for the all-black look, a combo that has long been a favorite among fans.
Jacksonville last wore the all-black uniforms in 2023, when they used them in a Week 4 London win over the Atlanta Falcons and again on Monday Night Football in a Week 13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Since then, the Jaguars have gone 39 regular-season games without black jerseys and pants.
They did, however, wear the Prowlers four times last season, and they went 4-0 in those games. That run included three AFC South wins and a Monday Night Football victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
For now, the focus is on the Prowlers and the Rivalries jerseys. The rest of the uniform plan is still waiting to be filled in, and that means the possibility of the all-black set remains out there for later in the season.

Ex-Jaguars RB Already Giving Saints Fans A Reason To Worry
Travis Etienne Jr. is only two games into his New Orleans tenure, but the early returns have already given Saints fans something to watch closely. The former Jaguars running back arrived on a big-money deal, and the expectation was obvious: he would be a featured piece in the offense and a driver of explosive plays from the backfield.
Instead, the usage has been more split than seamless. Etienne has been on the field for 57% of the snaps and has shared touches with other backs, while his yards per touch is lagging behind last seasons pace. It is still far too early to label the contract a success or a miss, but the first glimpse of this new partnership has not exactly calmed the questions around how New Orleans plans to use him.

Jaguars Offense Faces An Early Trevor Lawrence Test In New England
Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense head into Foxborough facing an early-season measuring stick against a Patriots defense that should ask different questions than the ones Jacksonville has seen so far. New England brings Drake Maye into the spotlight on the other side, but the more immediate issue for the Jaguars is whether Lawrence can handle the pressure, get the ball out on time and keep the offense on schedule in a game that figures to be shaped by field position and patience.
For Jacksonville, this is the kind of matchup that can reveal whether the system is settling in or still searching for answers. The Patriots are the sort of opponent that can force a quarterback to win with discipline rather than splash plays, and the Jaguars will need their passing game to stay ahead of the sticks while the staff weighs how aggressive to be. It is only Week 3, but games like this can tell a team plenty about where its offense really stands. [Read more 🡒]
Titans Rookie Receiver Is Quickly Becoming Hard To Ignore
Travis Hunters defensive workload has already become one of the more interesting early-season wrinkles for the Jaguars, and Liam Coens comments about the cornerback rotation help explain why. With the group shuffling around him, Hunters snap count on that side of the ball is being managed in a way that reflects both the personnel around him and the staffs larger view of how to use him over the course of the season.
Across the division, the AFC South is already seeing rookie receivers make their presence felt in different ways. DeMeco Ryans pointed to Jaylin Noels growth in the return game while still wanting more from Houstons offense, and Robert Saleh had strong praise for Elic Ayomanors work ethic and steady day-to-day progress in Tennessee, a sign the Titans believe the rookie is starting to turn heads for the right reasons.
