Jaguars look for a pass rush Sunday | jacksonville.com
It’s just a coincidence that the Jaguars started last season the same way Gus Bradley ended his.The Jaguars defense couldn’t hold the lead in the final 20 seconds at Minnesota in the opener; and Bradley’s Seattle defense couldn’t hold a lead in Atlanta in the final 31 seconds of their playoff game.While the Jaguars’ loss started them on the road to a 2-14 season, there was a silver lining to that season-ending loss for Bradley. He was hired by Jaguars general manager David Caldwell to be their coach.

Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley said starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert practiced Wednesday and will be re-evaluated Thursday as the Jaguars prepare for their season opener against the Chiefs. Gabbert, a third-year pro from Missouri, broke his right thumb in the second preseason game and hasn’t played since, though he has practiced sparingly. "He did take some limited team reps," Bradley said. "At times, he looked good, and at times you could tell he had an injury. It will be an evaluation process."
