Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson commended QB Mac Jones but also said he occasionally reverts to "Patriot ways."AUGUST 24
Ruke Orhorhoro - Plays in preseason gameOrhorhoro (shoulder) played in the Falcons' preseason game against the Jaguars on Friday.
ImpactThe defensive lineman started the contest and played on 46, or 59 percent, of the team's defensive snaps. The 2024 second-round pick is on track to begin the season as a backup lineman. Orhorhoro was a third-team All-ACC selection in 2023 at Clemson after recording 25 tackles, including 5.0 sacks.

C.J. Beathard - Sits out Friday, as expectedBeathard (groin) didn't play in Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports..
ImpactBeathard's absence from the contest was expected, as he suffered a groin injury during Jacksonville's second exhibition game last Saturday versus Tampa Bay and didn't practice all week. Trevor Lawrence started for the Jaguars on Friday and produced 92 yards through the air along with two touchdowns while completing eight of 10 pass attempts, and Mac Jones played the bulk of the game and looked good in completing 13 of 18 pass attempts for 113 yards and a touchdown. The performance may have given Jones a leg up in the battle with Beathard for the backup quarterback role behind Lawrence, though Jones and Beathard were said to be in a close competition for most of training camp.

Jase McClellan - Totals 23 yardsMcClellan rushed the ball four times for 12 yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.
ImpactMcClellan followed Carlos Washington into the game with both Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson sidelined. He has flashed some ability throughout the preseason, particularly in last week's matchup against the Ravens when he totaled 55 yards on the ground. That appears to be enough to have McClellan fourth on the depth chart, putting him on the roster bubble heading into cutdown day.

Carlos Washington Jr. - Starts againWashington recorded four rushes for seven yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Jaguars. He added one reception on one target for seven yards.
ImpactIt wasn't an impressive stat line for Washington, but he was again the first running back on the field with neither Bijan Robinson nor Tyler Allgeier suiting up. Washington joined the Falcons as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 season and spent last year on the team's practice squad. Heading into 2024, he looks to be the favorite for the third spot on the depth chart.
