Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer appeared emotionally drained after losing to the Bengals on Thursday night and called the loss ‘heartbreaking.’

Urban Meyer came in Sunday 17-0 in opener when he coached in college. He left NRG Stadium with his first loss in his NFL coaching debut.

In considering who stays or goes, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer said production was a factor, along with whether a player was vaccinated.

Similar to last week against Cleveland, the pocket collapsed on Trevor Lawrence too quickly in Monday night’s preseason loss to the Saints.

Trevor Lawrence was dropped for a sack on the Jaguars’ first play, but the No. 1 overall pick finished 6-of-9 for 71 yards in his preseason debut.

An open competition battle will remain between Trevor Lawrence and Gardner Minshew with a month left before the Jaguars’ season opener at Houston.

Trevor Lawrence is the centerpiece of the Jaguars’ rebuild, but Brian Schottenheimer isn’t ready to declare him the starting quarterback just yet.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer noted that it has been hard to properly evaluate Tim Tebow when players are not in full pads yet.

Urban Meyer said the Jacksonville Jaguars will have to see what happens regarding Tim Tebow’s push to make the roster.

Jacksonville Jaguars fans had raised more than $11,000 for wedding gifts and to charities of Trevor Lawrence’s choice in Jacksonville.
