Following the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first OTA practice on Monday, head coach Liam Coen confirmed that the team will have a joint practice this year with the Miami Dolphins.
The Jaguars are set to play at Miami for the third and final preseason game. As of now, a date and time for that matchup have not been set.
Also of note, Coen said there would be one joint practice “as of right now.” So perhaps another could be added at some point.
Across the NFL, joint practices have become common practice for most teams and are quite valuable.
With most key starters not playing in preseason games, it’s an opportunity for those players to get some game-like reps against an opposing team while still being in a somewhat controlled practice environment.
In addition to that, joint practices can help break up the monotony of training camp, along with providing the offensive and defensive units with different looks, rather than going up against their own team each day.
Lastly, with these practices not televised, teams have the opportunity to go a little deeper into the playbook instead of running the very vanilla looks that we see during the preseason.
