Jackson (tailbone/blood clots) took part in team activities Friday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

Jackson was able to participate in team drills for the first time Friday after being limited to only individual drills in the first two practices. This isn't the first time the 27-year-old has dealt with blood clots, as he missed nine games due to the same issue during the 2022 season. Jackson signed a three-year, $57 million extension in February, and the team is hopeful they will have their starting left tackle back for the regular season.

Knox (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday.

After missing the start of training camp, this marks the first practice for Knox since he came off the active/non-football injury list, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. The 28-year-old, who logged 22 catches for 311 yards and a touchdown in 16 regular-season games in 2024, thus is slated to reprise his role in a Buffalo passing offense that also features fellow TE Dalton Kincaid, who caught 44 passes in 13 contests last season.

Eze (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Eze was signed by Miami just a week ago after offensive tackle Bayron Matos suffered a severe upper-body injury during the early days of training camp, according to Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated. Eze previously played for the Lions during the 2023 season, but the castoff tackle has struggled to stay healthy throughout his brief NFL career.

Runyan (ankle) participated in Wednesday's padded practice, Pat Leonard of the Daily News reports.

Runyan missed the final four games of the 2024 season after undergoing ankle surgery in December to address a sprain and torn ligament. Runyan arrived from Green Bay last offseason to serve as a key piece on the offensive line, and he will be charged with protecting Russell Wilson to start the season.

McKivitz (undisclosed) is fully healthy and participated in training camp Wednesday, Mike Maynard reports.

McKivitz was carted to the locker room with an undisclosed injury in the final game of the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old offensive lineman started all 17 games for the 49ers last season. The five-year pro heads into the final season of his current contract in 2025.

Tuten (hamstring) returned to the practice field Thursday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.

As expected, Tuten's hamstring issue wasn't a long-term concern, though O'Brien notes that the 2025 fourth-rounder was limited during team drills Thursday. Once Tuten is able to work fully, he'll continue to push for a role in the Jaguars backfield, but so far in training camp Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby have handled the bulk of the reps with the team's top offense, per John Shipley of SI.com.

Luter (pelvis) has been participating in training camp, Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated reports.

Luter's 2024 campaign ended in November, when he was placed on injured reserve. The 25-year-old has battled injuries in his first two seasons in the NFL, only appearing in 10 total games over that span. He is looking to prove himself this season and find a role in the cornerback room behind established starters Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green.

Etienne and Tank Bigsby have handled the bulk of the reps alongside starting QB Trevor Lawrence in training camp, relative to the rest of the Jaguars' running back corps, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

In the process, Shipley suggests that the team's backfield roles are starting to be defined, with Bigsby setting the tone as an effective downhill rusher, while Etienne has been the best and most-used back in the passing game. Down the road, 2025 draftees Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen could push for playing time, but thus far, the sort of Bigsby/Etienne timeshare that was in play last season has continued during the Jaguars' ongoing training camp.

Beal (ankle) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated reports.

Beal missed the final three games of the 2024 campaign with an ankle injury. The 25-year-old played on both defense and special teams prior to his injury last season, where he accounted for 17 tackles (11 solo) through 14 games.

Morrison (hip) has been having a good training camp, Caleb Skinner of Sports Illustrated reports.

The 2025 second-round pick out of Notre Dame missed the back half of his final college season due to a hip injury, and it is believed he may have slipped out of the first round because of it. Since then, Morrison has turned heads during the offseason and training camp as he strives to secure a rotational role in the Buccaneers' secondary as a rookie.
