On August 21st, 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars wrapped up their training camp with a joint practice session against the Miami Dolphins. The practice session saw a mix of highs and lows for the Jaguars.
The standout performer for the Jaguars was wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had his best practice of the camp. Thomas was able to get open with ease against the Dolphins' secondary, showcasing his dominance. The Jaguars' defensive line also had a strong showing, stalling the Dolphins' rushing attack and consistently pressuring the quarterback.
However, the Jaguars' offense struggled, particularly the offensive line. The Dolphins' defense was able to generate consistent pressure, especially against the right side of the Jaguars' offensive line. This led to issues in the passing game, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence being intercepted and backup Nick Mullens nearly throwing a pick-six.
