Jaguars camp report: Training camp closes with short practice at the Miller Center

One more preseason game, the final cut three days later and then, as they like to say, the hay is in the barn for the 2023 Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars practiced for a little over an hour on Thursday at the Miller Electric Center in their final training camp practice of the preseason. They play host to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday (7 p.m., CBS-47) and the 90-man training camp roster will be pared to 53 on Aug. 29.

Almost all of the practice was devoted to rehearsing for the Dolphins and special teams. There was one sequence when the Jags were running goal-line plays when rookie free agent wide receiver Elijah Cooks beat veteran cornerback Tyson Campbell in the corner for a touchdown, with Campbell knocking the ball loose from Cooks two plays later, on the same pattern, in the same corner.

Safety Andrew Wingard also dislodged Cooks from a pass with a hit that was probably a little less gentle than coaches would have preferred in the final practice.
