10 scores Preseason Week 2: Jaguars Trending Toward Playing Starters vs. Panthers
Read the full recap →The Carolina Panthers travel to Jacksonville on Friday, August 21. Jaguars coach Liam Coen said this week he was "trending towards" playing some starters, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence, after sitting the entire first unit in Jacksonville's Week 1 win over New Orleans. The Jaguars are also managing offensive line depth concerns with Walker Little, Patrick Mekari and Chuma Edoga all banged up.
First real look at Lawrence and the top offense
If Coen follows through, this would be the first live-game look at Jacksonville's full starting offense this preseason, a notable jump from Week 1's backups-only approach.
Jaguars' O-line questions add uncertainty
With three linemen banged up, Jacksonville's front could be shuffled even if the skill-position starters take the field.
Carolina's plans less clear
After Bryce Young played extended snaps in a Week 1 loss to Buffalo, it's less certain whether Carolina leans on him again this week or shifts back toward backups.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 16-23 (Panthers vs Jaguars), final was 34-17. Carolina won 34-17 on the road, a clear miss even with Jacksonville's starters reportedly trending toward playing.
Panthers Jaguars Lawrence potentially playing is the biggest factor in this game
If Jacksonville's actual starting quarterback takes the field, that's a significant talent edge over a Panthers team with a less certain plan.
Home crowd adds to Jacksonville's advantage
A trending-toward-starters approach at home should make it easier for the Jaguars to control the game from the outset.
O-line shuffling and Carolina's uncertainty temper full confidence
Jacksonville's banged-up front and unclear plans on Carolina's side leave real variance in how this actually plays out.
This is a preseason exhibition. The possibility of Jacksonville's actual starters playing gives this projection more confidence than a typical Week 2 game, but nothing is locked in until kickoff.
