“We look forward to hosting Coach (Dirk) Koetter and the Buccaneers for two practices during training camp,” said Jaguars Head Coach Doug Marrone. “Having the opportunity to practice with the Patriots and the Buccaneers during training camp will allow us to see a lot of different looks, matchups and scenarios and we believe these joint sessions will make us a better football team.” 

In addition to hosting Koetter, a former offensive coordinator for the Jaguars, Tampa Bay will bring quarterback Jameis Winston and first round pick, former Alabama tight end O.J. Howard.

The Jaguars face the Buccaneers in their second preseason game on August 17. 

The first preseason game is on the road at the New England Patriots on August 10. The team announced on Tuesday that they would participate in two inter-squad practices with the defending Super Bowl champions leading up to that game.
