The Jacksonville Jaguars will kickoff their current regular season campaign by hosting the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. The Jaguars are dealing with several major injuries to the team's starters, which will test Jacksonville's ever-improving depth as they face a similarly-banged up Panthers squad.
The start of Head Coach Gus Bradley's third season at the helm will begin without the team's top defender in defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks (knee) and its top offseason acquisition in tight end Julius Thomas (finger). Still, the Jaguars have seen growth from quarterback Blake Bortles and wide receiver Allen Robinson and the organization hopes that the big money free agent additions on defense can help improve the roster.
