JACKSONVILLE — Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw five touchdowns during Day 3 of training camp at the Miller Electric Center on Friday, drawing praise from head coach Liam Coen as the sixth-year veteran continues to sharpen his command of the offense.

“In terms of running the show, the operation, and also accuracy and putting the ball on the guys and spreading it out, he’s seeing it really well right now,” Coen said during his post-practice media availability.

Lawrence connected with wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for two of the scores, with additional touchdowns going to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, running back Bhayshul Tuten and wide receiver Parker Washington, who hauled in the final score to cap an end-of-game drill. The Jaguars worked for two hours in helmets and light pads during the session, which was heavy on situational and red-zone work.

“He has been accurate,” Meyers said. “I can say that for sure. And he’s spreading it around. I feel like everybody has gotten a chance to touch it a little bit. He has been communicating well. He’s just been doing better and better since I got here last year.”

Coen singled out Thomas, a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2024, for his continued development after a strong offseason program. Thomas made multiple receptions on tight-window passes Friday.

“I’ve been pleased with how strong his hands have been at some of the point of contact,” Coen said. “We’re just continuing to see from the spring to now, just taking those steps that we all wanted to see, and that we’re all excited to see. If he can add that element of not just being on the outside and going vertical … When you’re fast as he is, those runaways and crossers can be a tough cover with a big dude like that.”

Tight end Brenton Strange credited Lawrence’s growth to multiple factors. “It’s a combination of maturity, trust in his playmakers around him and stability in his playmakers around him,” Strange said. “It’s a good system as well, a system that gives him all the answers and gives him the right matchups. I’m super-excited to continue growing with Trevor. He’s one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league. When he’s playing, there aren’t many people who are even close to being as good as him.”

The defense had its moments as well. Third-year cornerback Jarrian Jones made an athletic diving interception off Lawrence in the end zone during early red-zone drills, diagnosing the play and covering Washington before making what Coen’s staff considered one of the most impressive individual plays of camp. Safety Caleb Ransaw recorded a pair of pass breakups in team drills, and second-year linebacker Branson Combs intercepted backup quarterback Nick Mullens during 7-on-7 work with an acrobatic leaping catch.

On the injury front, second-year linebacker Jack Kiser missed practice for a second consecutive day with a knee injury sustained early in practice Wednesday; he is expected to return later in training camp or preseason. Left tackle Cole Van Lanen and offensive lineman Garrett DiGiorgio remain on the Physically Unable to Perform list with knee and foot injuries, respectively. Defensive tackle Arik Armstead was given a veteran rest day. Guard Patrick Mekari and Strange worked mostly in individual drills.

In Miami, the Dolphins defense produced two interceptions during their own Day 3 session, including a deflected pass that wound up in cornerback Alex Austin’s hands. Inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks recorded a pair of pass breakups and two tackles for loss.

“Whatever you emphasize, you’re going to get out there,” Dolphins safety Dante Trader Jr. said. “We have a standard out in the meeting room, we’re going to run if we don’t get takeaways. We’re going to emphasize it every day.”

Trader Jr. said he and Brooks trained together extensively during the offseason. “Wherever Jordyn Brooks was, I was,” Trader Jr. said. “I was over at his house every day. We’re doing two-a-days, we’re training. We had a plan for everything in our game, our techniques, our run fits, our strike and our shed and pulls. When we make plays, we laugh now. It’s like, ‘We’ve been working on that.’”

The Dolphins offense scored multiple touchdowns on a red-zone-heavy day. Running back Jaylen Wright broke a 25-yard touchdown run through a hole opened by rookie offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor — Miami’s first pick in this year’s draft — and center Aaron Brewer. Running backs Ollie Gordon II and Donovan Edwards each scored from 10 yards out. Quarterback Malik Willis added a 10-yard rushing touchdown and threw two scoring passes — touch throws into the corner of the end zone to tight end Ben Sims and rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas, who made an impressive one-handed grab. Douglas caught three passes on the day, including a 30-yard reception on a back-shoulder throw from Willis.

“Just being focused in on the meetings and the install that was going in today,” Proctor said of his early adjustment to the NFL. “But the biggest thing that I’ve learned is you have to get off the ball, using the snap count to your advantage.”

Both teams are scheduled to continue training camp practices through the weekend as they build toward the preseason schedule.
