DAVON HAMILTON

The Jaguars are keeping one of their stars on the defensive line in town, agreeing to a contract extension with defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton.

Trevor Lawrence has never endured anything close to this.

The return of Sacksonville? That might be going a little too far, but the defense is playing with the same swagger that it had during that stellar run.

Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer are together again.

Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer are apparently getting back together, this time in the NFL.

Defensive needs: DL, S, CB, EDGE. Defensive lineCoach Urban Meyer said that he wants to build a defense from the line and work back from there. With Leonard Williams getting tagged by the Giants, Tomlinson is the top interior lineman in free agency, and a player who the Jaguars should make a priority. Middle linebacker Joe Schobert, one of the final major free agent signings of Dave Caldwell’s tenure, was an above-average player last season. Hilton, who was signed by the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2016, could be a nice addition as a nickel.

Jones was not expected to play because of a hamstring injury suffered last week against Cincinnati. Colt McCoy will make his first start of the season at QB for the Giants. Seattle was without both starting right tackle Brandon Shell (ankle) and backup Cedric Ogbuehi (calf) leaving a major question on the offensive line. ___CLEVELAND-TENNESSEEBrowns: WR Taywan Taylor, WR KhaDarel Hodge, CB Denzel Ward, RB Dontrell Hilliard, S Tedric Thompson, DE Joe Jackson.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The last time the Jacksonville Jaguars lost nine consecutive games, owner Shad Khan fired coach Gus Bradley before they left the stadium. Jacksonville (1-8) dropped its eighth straight at Green Bay on Sunday and can match the longest, single-season skid in franchise history against unbeaten Pittsburgh. “All I know is we’re putting everything in this thing and we’re fighting our butts off,” Marrone said. But the end results might not be enough to save Marrone and Caldwell, who have dropped 19 of their past 28 games. KEY NUMBER8 — number of consecutive games Jacksonville has with at least one turnover, coinciding with its losing streak.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In what could be his final two months on the job, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is making changes. They’re halfway home to another top-five draft pick and probably another significant reboot. Then again, since the Jaguars face the toughest schedule of anyone in the second half of the season, it might not matter. They play three divisions leaders (Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Tennessee), three second-place teams (Baltimore, Chicago, Indianapolis), plus Cleveland (5-3) and Minnesota (3-5). WHAT’S WORKINGRunning back James Robinson has four touchdowns in three games, further establishing himself as the team’s most consistent player.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Day 2 of the NFL draft is in the books and we look at how the Jaguars fared on Friday night. Rounds 4-7 of the NFL draft are Saturday beginning at noon. Justin BarneyThrough two days of the draft, I like what the Jaguars have done. On Friday, Laviska Shenault Jr. was the guy in the second round and I think that’s the sexy pick that fans were looking for. He does have some injury concerns and that is the only reason he was available in the second round.
