The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2025 NFL season ready to move on and start anew. The Jacksonville Jaguars had quite the offseason, as they not only ushered in a new head coach in Liam Coen, but they also acquired a ton of young talent.
The sensational Travis Hunter joins the team in 2025 with expectations of playing as a key contributor and a spotlight name on the field. There is another major change with Brenton Strange stepping into a key role, as Evan Engram left the squad earlier this year, leaving Brenton Strange as the number one tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brenton Strange said he is ready for the opportunity to step up this season.

On May 24, 2025, Brenton Strange gave an interview to team reporter John Oehser, featured on the official Jacksonville Jaguars website, Jaguars.com. He confidently talked about how he was ready to step in as starting tight end.
The Jacksonville Jaguars cut Evan Engram, a consistent tight end, earlier this year. That left Brenton Strange, a second-round NFL Draft pick in 2022, as the leading guy at tight end.
Brenton Strange did not get up to much in his first season back in 2022, catching just five passes.

But he showed real progress in 2024 with 40 catches for 411 yards. That improvement was enough to earn the respect and trust of the coaching staff.
'I'm definitely ready for it,' Strange told Oehser. 'I believe in myself. I feel like I bring something special to the field every time I step out there.'
Liam Coen brings a fresh system to Jacksonville Jaguars
Liam Coen enters his first season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 after one year as an offensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cade Otton is the tight end Liam Coen coached in 2024, and who caught 59 passes that year.
Now, Liam Coen wants to bring the same kind of production to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Brenton Strange's statistical output is comparable to Cade Otton's, that could be a massive boost for the offense.
With Liam Coen running the plays and Travis Hunter adding spark, the Jacksonville Jaguars have high hopes. Preseason training will kick off in late July 2025 in Jacksonville, Florida.

"Never Affected My Mindset": Punjab Kings Pacer Lockie Ferguson Opens Up On Injury

IPL 2025 ended with Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinching their maiden title. The Bengaluru-based franchise defeated Punjab Kings by just six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Despite being on the losing side, it was a memorable campaign for PBKS, who reached the playoffs after a hiatus of 11 years. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the team emerged as a dominating force and even finished as the table toppers with nine wins in 14 matches. During the tournament, PBKS even faced injury blows as the likes of Glenn Maxwell and pacer Lockie Ferguson were ruled out. Ferguson sustained a left leg injury while bowling during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and was taken off the field. He had previously missed the 2025 Champions Trophy for New Zealand after suffering a hamstring injury while playing in the ILT20 in the UAE. Speaking to NDTV during a select media interaction, Lockie, who is a part of the upcoming edition of The Hundred, opened up about his injury and stated that such things are part of game. "Injury never affected my mindset. It's a part of the job as a fast bowler. You are bound to get injured but you just need to manage them well and learn from the mistakes that you have made. You have to focus on your rehab for the recovery. When you try to bowl fast and try to win matches for your team, these injuries are highly possible to happen," Ferguson told NDTV. "Preparations are also important. You have to learn from the rehab, learn to be stronger. Hopefully, my summer is with the Trent Rockets and I aim to give my best," he added. For the unversed, Ferguson is all set to feature in the upcoming edition of The Hundred with the Trent Rockets. The side will be led by David Willey. "There are some players with whom I have played before. It will be really nice to play with Stoin (Marcus Stoinis). He is a great player in the dressing room and very deadly with both bat and ball in hand. Very glad with David taking up the captaincy. Have played with him in Yorkshire and enjoyed my time over there. So, I am pretty excited," said the Kiwi pacer. The Hundred 2025 edition will kick-start from Tuesday with London Spirit taking on Oval Invincibles in the opening match. Trent Rockets will begin their campaign against Birmingham Phoenix on Friday.

Cleveland Browns sign 6th QB Tyler Huntley amidst growing QB competition

(Image via Getty: Tyler Huntley) Deshaun Watson? Injured. Joe Flacco? Veteran. Kenny Pickett? Brought from the Super Bowl LIX winning team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Dillon Gabriel? Rookie. Shedeur Sanders? Rookie. And now enters–Tyler Huntley. The Cleveland Browns bring in a sixth quarterback to the already-full quarterback room. Zac Jackson of The Athletic reacted to this move, speaking for everyone, 'This is unbelievable for many reasons, most of all that all four were involved in practice today on some level.' Now, the question arises–which quarterbacks will be given up before the 2025 NFL season? But first– What is the quarterback rule? According to the quarterback rule–one is a starter, one is a backup, and a third QB is picked from the inactive list and allowed to dress for the game. Out of the six quarterbacks–only three will stay with the Cleveland Browns. Who's going to play? Only time will tell. For now, let's check out the Cleveland Browns' sixth quarterback! Tyler Huntley. Tyler Huntley enters a crowded Cleveland Browns QB room Tyler Huntley's NFL journey was full of ups and downs. The quarterback carries a history of three practice-squad appearances. The Baltimore Ravens picked him in the 2020 NFL Draft(when he went undrafted). He played for the Ravens till 2023. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo In 2022, he even earned his first Pro Bowl selection. In March 2024, Huntley entered the practice squad of the Cleveland Browns–but within five months, he was released from their 53-man roster. In August 2024, he became a practice squad member for the Ravens. In September 2024, Huntley became a backup QB for the Miami Dolphins. Playing for the Dolphins last season, he garnered 86 of 133 passes for 829 yards, three TDs, three interceptions, 26 carries for 135 yards and two TDs. When their star signal caller, Tua Tagovailoa, was injured in Week 17, Huntley played against the Cleveland Browns. The Dolphins won against the Browns by a riveting score of 20-3! Huntley accumulated 225 passing yards, one passing TD, seven carries for 52 rushing yards, and one rushing TD. Why was Tyler Huntley brought to Cleveland Browns? Deshaun Watson suffered a second Achilles tendon tear, and his appearance in the 2025 season is doubtful Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring muscle on July 26–which stopped him from practising completely Dillon Gabriel is suffering from hamstring muscle tightness–he will be a limited participant in practice Shedeur Sanders suffered from soreness in his arm and throwing shoulder–he's getting treated Joe Flacco is healthy and remains at the top spot of the quarterback competition On August 4, Brian DeArdo of CBS Sports reported that Tyler Huntley would probably enter the practice squad(history of three practice-squad appearances). The chances of trading Shedeur Sanders seem slim. Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel may become trade options for the Browns.
