Jaguars Cornerback Montaric Brown Misses Training Camp with Leg Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown, who showed significant promise during the offseason and was expected to play a key role in the secondary this season, suffered a leg injury that will sideline him for the entirety of training camp. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed Brown's absence but remains optimistic that he will be healthy by the start of the regular season, emphasizing that this situation provides valuable opportunities for other players like Jarrian Jones, Travis Hunter, Trey Prince, Zach McPherson, and Christian Braswell to earn reps and prove themselves. Brown, who has transitioned well to a zone coverage scheme under new defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, had gained momentum with extended playing time last season and was considered a rising talent. Despite Brown's injury, the Jaguars plan to maintain the development trajectory of their cornerbacks without major adjustments, especially in Travis Hunter's role. Meanwhile, the Jaguars' safety position remains competitive, with veteran Darnell Savage impressing coaches and vying for a starting spot alongside free-agent acquisition Eric Murray. The injury to Brown, though unfortunate, has highlighted the depth and potential in Jacksonville's defensive backfield as training camp progresses.
