Day 4 of Jaguars training camp at the Miller Electric Center was, in a lot of ways, a two-man show. Travis Hunter and the number 12 on his jersey kept popping up in the biggest moments, and Arik Armstead made sure the defense set the tone early. But the session had plenty of other wrinkles, from line shuffling to a run-game surge and a few strong individual reps that stood out across the field.
Armstead wasted no time making his presence felt. On the first snap, he met Emmanuel Pregnon with a violent rep, throwing the rookie guard down on a D.J.
Dallas run and forcing the back to bounce away. Two plays later, Armstead added a tackle for loss.
It was the kind of start that reminded everyone how disruptive he can be when he’s healthy and rolling.
The defensive end depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker also showed some life. B.J.
Green II put together a strong rush against Brenton Strange, finishing the rep with Strange moving backward and Green in position for what would have been a pressure or sack in a game. Zach Durfee followed that with two pressures in team periods, giving him another solid day early in camp and adding to the sense that the competition for those rotational spots is tighter than expected.
The run game had its own bright moment when Patrick Mekari opened a huge lane for Chris Rodriguez, who slipped through untouched for what would have been a sizable gain. Rodriguez looked comfortable and decisive throughout the session, which matters after his reported foot procedure kept him out of the offseason program. That sequence also stood out as a useful sign for the right guard battle, especially with Mekari’s reps being managed early.
There was some movement along the offensive line, too. Walker Little opened practice on the right side, while Anton Harrison worked at left tackle and looked sharp there. Whether that was a one-day experiment or part of a broader look remains to be seen, but it’s something worth tracking as camp continues, especially with Cole Van-Lanen on the Active/PUP List.
Hunter, though, owned the biggest moments. His interception was the top defensive play of camp so far, and it came on a Nick Mullens throw intended for Quintin Morris.
Hunter read it, closed at full speed, and picked it off after jumping over Morris’ outside shoulder, then returned it to the opposing 20-yard line. The ball was forced into triple coverage, but Hunter was the one defensive back who looked capable of making the play.
He wasn’t done there. Later in practice, Trevor Lawrence found Hunter on a 40-yard deep ball, and Hunter climbed over Preston Hodge, his former Colorado teammate, to secure the catch with excellent concentration. It was one of the best offensive plays of the day and a clean reminder that Hunter is showing up on both sides of the ball.
Lawrence, for his part, kept building on what has already been a strong camp. Day 4 may have been his best session yet.
The only real blemishes were a drop by Jakobi Meyers on a deep ball that came loose as he hit the ground, and an overthrow of Brian Thomas Jr. on a sideline route where Thomas had four to five yards of separation about 20 yards downfield. Outside of that, Lawrence was sharp, accurate and decisive.
Multiple beat writers have already noted that the offense looks significantly ahead of where it was at this point a year ago, and that continued on Sunday, with a heavier emphasis on the run game.
Parker Washington also finished strong. He caught about four passes and delivered the day’s most decisive offensive play, a double move that shook him free from zone coverage with open grass all around him.
Lawrence hit him in stride for a long sliding touchdown with 10 yards of space. Washington also hauled in a contested catch over Ventrell Miller’s outstretched arms, a play that had been in the running for top offensive rep before Hunter’s interception took that spot.
Miller had his moments, too. He delivered a physical tackle for loss during the red zone period, one of the more eye-catching linebacker reps of the first day in pads. He also came close to making the contested play on Washington, diving and nearly coming away with the ball.
Day 5 on Monday will bring the first fully padded practice of Jaguars training camp. The only players who did not practice Sunday were Jack Kiser (knee), and offensive tackles Cole Van Lanen and Garrett DiGiorgio, both on the Active/PUP.

Jaguars Camp Is Reviving A Problem Fans Hated Last Season
Early signs from Jaguars training camp suggest there may be some progress in one of last seasons most frustrating habits, but the issue is still hanging around. Jacksonville finished the 2025 season among the NFLs most penalized teams with 130 flags, and even in camp, the kinds of mistakes that stall drives and extend possessions have been a talking point for anyone watching closely.
Recent practice work has shown a little cleaner execution than a year ago, yet multiple penalties in one session were a reminder that the problem is far from gone. For a team trying to sharpen both sides of the ball before the preseason ramps up, the discipline issue is one to keep tracking, because it can disrupt offensive rhythm just as quickly as it can flip a defensive stand.

Cam Little Faces One Pressure Issue Jaguars Need Solved Fast
Cam Little spent the 2025-26 season doing things few kickers in league history have done, setting NFL records for the longest field goals in both preseason and regular-season games. For the Jaguars, that kind of leg talent is impossible to ignore, especially when it comes with the kind of range that can flip games from long distance and give the offense a margin of error it rarely enjoys.
Still, the bigger question in Jacksonville is not how far Little can kick, but how steady he can be when the moment tightens. After a midseason slump and a playoff miss that lingered into the offseason, Little has been focused on consistency and on finding better ways to handle the mental side of the job, even as he keeps himself occupied with a new hobby collecting sports cards. For a team that wants its kicker to be a weekly advantage, solving that pressure piece fast matters just as much as the record-setting leg. [Read more 🡒]
Travis Hunter Is Forcing A Big Jaguars Question Already
Travis Hunter keeps making the Jaguars training camp feel like a referendum on just how much theyre willing to ask from a rookie who is already splitting time on both sides of the ball. On Jacksonvilles fourth day of camp, Hunter turned in another busy practice, lining up on offense and defense and continuing to pile up touches and reps while the staff watches how his workload settles in.
The most notable moment came when Hunter came up with an interception in a team period, a play that fit the growing pattern of him showing up around the football wherever he lines up. He also stayed involved on offense, hauling in a deep Trevor Lawrence throw while being held by a defender, which only adds to the larger question hovering over camp: how long can the Jaguars keep feeding him this much and still get the most out of both roles?
