What did we see during the Jaguars' first OTA practice?
The Jacksonville Jaguars hit the practice field for the first day of OTAs on Monday, giving us our first look of the 2024 Jaguars.
“Stay healthy. This next phase, it's good to be able to have a little competition and compete against each other but within the rules we've got to make sure we protect each other," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said about his expectations for OTAs. Christian Kirk proved to be one of the most important pieces on the Jaguars' entire roster last year. Not only was he on pace for a second strong season in terms of production before his injury in Week 13, but his absence over the final five games proved to be a major factor in the Jaguars' collapse. Kirk rehabbed hard this offseason after getting surgery during the season for the core muscle injury, and Monday looked like an emphatic return to the field.
Kirk caught everything thrown his way on Monday; his chemistry with Trevor Lawrence is obviously strong entering their third year together. But beyond that, Kirk ran routes with the same crispness and explosiveness that he did before his injury. With Brian Thomas Jr. still in his early stages of development and Gabe Davis out for the day due to birth of his child over the weekend, Kirk looked like an obvious alpha dog in the wide receiver room.
