The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Head Coach addressed the media before day 18 of the 2024 Training Camp, gearing up for their first road game of the season. Coach Pederson’s insights shed light on the team’s preparations and expectations moving forward.
In a full media availability session, Coach Pederson provided injury updates that set the tone for the upcoming game. He mentioned that the majority of the team’s starting players can expect to see increased playing time against Atlanta. However, he made it clear that certain players like Christian Kirk and potentially Arik Armstead may be limited or held back due to precautionary measures.
This week is shaping up to be more like a “normal” game week for the Jaguars. Coach Pederson emphasized that the starters will have more opportunities to showcase their skills on the field, while also focusing on scheming against the Falcons in a way that hasn’t been seen in previous preseason matchups this year.
The coach’s approach reflects a balance between giving key players the necessary playing time to build chemistry and rhythm, while also being cautious with those at risk for injury. With the team’s first road game just around the corner, Coach Pederson’s strategic mindset and attention to detail will be crucial in guiding the Jaguars to success in the 2024 season.
