With most Jacksonville starters sidelined following a week of joint practices with Tampa Bay, 67 of the Jaguars’ 91 active roster members took the field Saturday night in a 20-7 victory over the Buccaneers at EverBank Stadium.
One of the first-teamers who dressed, however, was first-round rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Each of Jacksonville’s available, non-specialist 2024 draft picks logged at least 16 snaps in Week 2 of the preseason.
Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke noted the team’s effort to get rookies more involved in preseason action this year during the broadcast of Saturday’s contest.
“We’ve got to put more stress on them. That was the thing we talked about. We can’t give them a rookie season, we’ve got to get them ready to play now,” Baalke said.
“We kept them two and half weeks longer than we’ve kept the previous two rookie classes so they got a shorter break. We’ve demanded more of them mentally and physically and we’ve put them in situations in the game that we weren’t putting them in the previous two years, earlier in the game when it matters and it counts. I think it’s been a very successful transition for us.”
