There are few worse things in the NFL than seeing a key contributor go down with injury in the preseason. For key contributors (starters, defined role players, specialists) that aren’t in danger of losing their spot on the roster, the key thing to do in the preseason is to stay healthy.
For a young team like the Jacksonville Jaguars, it doesn’t make sense to endanger players like quarterback Blake Bortles, wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, offensive linemen Brandon Linder and Jermey Parnell (among others), and defensive studs like Malik Jackson, Dante Fowler Jr., Myles Jack, Jalen Ramsey, and Telvin Smith.
