BOCA RATON, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have expressed interest in practicing against another NFL team during training camp. Action Sports Jax has learned that the Jags could end up practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a couple of days in Orlando.
The details and confirmation from the league is still being discussed, but both teams would like to see it happen. The head coach of Tampa Bay is former Jags offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
The sessions could be held at the University of Central Florida, which is where Blake Bortles played his college football. If the two teams get together, there is also a good chance that would lead right into a preseason game in August.

Gus says about Malik, Sen'Derrick rotation we don't want good players on sideline. Our challenge-find out how to get them both on field.

Gus on Blake: many times people would put more on a guy's plate after last year. We are not. Keep trying to master what he does.

Gus on Linder: we've seen he has ability to play center and could play it for a long time that's why it's a viable option. #ASJax

Keep eye on Jags & Bucs joint practice in August that would be held in Orlando. Maybe even at UCF. Still work to be done but likely. #ASJax

Khan on the perception of Jaguars on the rise: "we haven't won a game yet. Signs point in right direction. There is cause for optimism."
