Where 9 Jaguars position battles stand after first preseason game

Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' first preseason game, let's take a temperature check on where several key positional battles now stand. As far as the overall evaluation process goes when it comes to determining playing time, roles, and who makes the final roster, it's been a big few days, with the joint practice and preseason game likely carrying more weight. From the outside looking in, here is where things seem to stand. Third quarterback role Based on playing time in the preseason game, Carter Bradley seems to have the advantage over Joey Aguilar. No mystery at tight end Not that we needed any more proof, but Tanner Koziol is very much ahead of Quintin Morris and Hunter Long on the depth chart. Wide receiver depth A similar situation here, while Austin Trammell offers experience and special teams help, CJ Williams and Josh Cameron are ahead of him in the wide receiver pecking order. Both rookies have often capitalized on their opportunities. Offensive line configuration There's been so much movement due to injuries that it's not easy to know exactly where things stand up front. That said, Anton Harrison has seemingly stuck at left tackle since moving there. With Patrick Mekari and Walker Little sidelined, Jonah Monheim has often played right guard and Wyatt Milum right tackle. Depending on the severity of Chuma Edoga's injury, Milum could stay at tackle for the time being. Emmanuel Pregnon performed well in the preseason game and could push Monheim -- who is also the backup center -- for that first off-the-bench role at guard. Defensive end rotation BJ Green has made a lot of plays, paving the way for him to see regular rotational snaps. Danny Striggow should see his share of playing time as well. Wesley Williams has had a quiet camp but a very good preseason game. Zach Durfee has flashed enough to earn a roster spot, although as the fourth option in this rotation, how much playing time he sees remains to be seen. Defensive tackle rotation Matt Dickerson is ahead of Ruke Orhorhoro on the depth chart. Albert Regis will back up DaVon Hamilton. Linebacker Ventrell Miller or Branson Combs? It seems too close to call right now. That said, it does seem that as of late, Miller has made a stronger push, perhaps giving him the slight upper hand. If the Jaguars keep an extra linebacker, Yasir Abdullah is very much in the mix for that role -- competing with Jalen McLeod -- after his performance against the Saints. Cornerback depth If the Jaguars keep five cornerbacks, I think Jabbar Muhammad has the edge over Christian Braswell. Muhammad has made more plays throughout camp and has played both inside and out. If Jacksonville keeps a sixth cornerback, Braswell will be the favorite for that role, but watch UDFA Devon Marshall. Safety Caleb Ransaw will be the Jaguars' third safety -- a role that does see playing time under Anthony Campanile. Jalen Huskey could be making a push for the fourth spot on the depth chart, potentially jumping Rayuan Lane after his performance vs. the Saints.
