JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars on Wednesday practiced at the Miller Electric Center.
The Jaguars (5-3) will play the Houston Texans (3-5) at NRG Stadium Houston, Tex., Sunday in a 2025 Week 10 game. A look at Wednesday around the Jaguars – with Head Coach Liam Coen speaking to the media before practice and quarterback Trevor Lawrence speaking to the media after practice:
He has earned more opportunity. Now, Parker Washington is getting it – and Lawrence said that's a positive.
"He really works his tail off, and as a quarterback that gives you a lot of confidence," Lawrence said.
Washington, a sixth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, entered training camp as the Jaguars' fourth receiver. With rookie wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter on injured reserve with a knee injury, and with veteran wide receivers Dyami Brown and Brian Thomas Junior on the injury report this week, he could be a top option at receiver Sunday.
Washington, after catching 16 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, caught 32 passes for 390 yards and three touchdowns last season. He at times has been the Jaguars' most reliable receiver this season, catching 25 passes for 297 passes and a touchdown.
"He has had to step up a lot of different times," Lawrence said. "He always has done a great job and I've always liked how he played. We always had a good chemistry and it definitely has grown, especially this year.
"He practices so hard. You see all his routes full speed and know exactly how he's going to run it. All these banked reps have stacked up to where our connection is growing stronger and stronger. You see it showing on Sundays."
