Training camp expectations
Training camp for the entire team opened Tuesday as year two of the Doug Pederson era began.

Jacksonville’s unexpected run to the AFC South title last year stomped the accelerator down on Pederson’s rebuilding project with the Jaguars. A major reason for Jacksonville’s sky-high expectations is the growth shown by quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
He was one of the league’s best in the second half of the season, and a completely different player than he looked under Urban Meyer as a rookie. Lawrence is in the same system for the first time in his NFL career. And Pederson’s work with quarterbacks is well-known.
Preseason dates to know
The Jaguars play three preseason games this August. Here’s a look at the schedule:
Aug. 12, Jaguars at Cowboys, 5 p.m.Aug. 19, Jaguars at Lions, 1 p.m.Aug. 26, Dolphins at Jaguars, 7 p.m.
Big roster change
One big change the league made this year is the elimination of multiple rounds of cuts. This year, NFL teams can carry 90 players throughout camp. There will be just one big cutdown date — Aug. 29. That’s when rosters have to go from 90 to the regular season mark of 53. Instead of waves of cuts, that means a staggering 1,184 players will hit the waiver wire on roughly the same day.
