The Jacksonville Jaguars have big expectations after Liam Coen coached them to the playoffs in his first year in charge. How far can he take them in year 2?
Fans get their first look at the 2026 Jags in today's preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints. Maybe it's better to think of it as a tease, considering Coen has said the starters will rest. That means we won't see how much Trevor Lawrence meshes with Parker Washington, whether Bhayshul Tuten looks like he's ready to take over as RB1 or if Brian Thomas Jr. plays as well against live cornerbacks as he has during training camp.
But the Jaguars will showcase their rookies, meaning tight end Nate Boerkircher and receivers Josh Cameron and CJ Williams will test their abilities against what's expected to be an improved Saints defense. And fans could see Travis Hunter pull double duty at wideout and cornerback for the first time since an injury ended his rookie season in October.
Here's what to know about today's game, including start time and how to watch on TV and streaming.
