JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars held their last official practice before they hit the road to New Orleans on Tuesday, and it featured plenty of ups and downs.

Day 10 of Jaguars training camp saw one side of the ball particularly stand out, but what exactly was The Good and The Not So Good from Tuesday's practice at the Miller Electric Center? We break it all down below.

The Good

The Front 7

The Jaguars' front seven simply beat up on the Jaguars' offensive line on Tuesday. There is the required context of injuries on the offensive line impacting the first-, second-, and third-team units, but Tuesday was as dominant a day as Anthony Campanile's defensive front has had in training camp to date. Now, it will be up to them to keep it up from here.

"I thought the defense came out with more energy and better mindset and mentality. I thought the offensive skill players, obviously, and some of the pass game stuff was good. But they kind of took the fight to us, to the offense in the run game today," Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said following practice.

It is hard to pinpoint any singular dominant performances, though Coen said he was impressed by Albert Regis and Arik Armstead. It instead seemed more like a completely team effort by the defensive line and linebackers to swarm to the ball and totally deny the Jaguars any momentum on the ground. That is the way Campanile had them playing against the run last season, and it has carried over into this year's training camp.

Jabbar Muhammad

It has been awhile since we had a 53-man roster projection without Jabbar Muhammad on it. The second-year cornerback has been one of the most quickly-ascending players in the building ever since his stellar offseason program in the spring, and he has continued to carry it over into training camp. In fact, Muhammad has been the clear No. 5 cornerback for the Jaguars during camp, which would earn him an active game day jersey during the regular-season.

"I’d say Jabbar, you go back to the spring, he's probably one of the most improved players on the team. He's doing a heck of a job playing obviously corner and nickel. I’m excited," Coen said after practice.

Muhammad will have to prove himself on the practice field in New Orleans and on the game field this Saturday, but he has all of the traits and confidence to do so. He once again made some big plays in coverage on Tuesday, including a near-interception of Nick Mullens. He is carrying a considerable amount of momentum with him into the rest of the week against the Saints, and he has a chance to really solidify a role and roster spot in the weeks ahead as a result of that momentum and what he has put on the practice field.

Jakobi Meyers

When it comes to the Jaguars' pass-catchers, it seems like the always-reliable Jakobi Meyers is sometimes forgotten about. Parker Washington is a breakout star who has arguably been the MVP of training camp to this point; Brian Thomas Jr. is a first-round pick who has been a star in his own right; and Travis Hunter is a former No. 2 pick who is one of the most recognizable athletes in sports. That sometimes leads to Meyers not getting as much talk as the rest of the room, but it has no impact on the clear value he brings the Jaguars.

Meyers had a slow-ish start to camp but turned it on around the time the Jaguars got the pads on, and he hasn't turned it off since. He has been the most sure-handed receiver in the room, including a diving third-down catch from Trevor Lawrence on Tuesday that was one of the best plays the Jaguars made on offense all day. We already know just how important Meyers is to the Jaguars after the way he changed their passing game a year ago, but days like Tuesday are a good reminder that even with the noise of the receiver room's talent, his consistency will still show up.

The Not So Good

The Injuries

The Jaguars have slowly seen injuries stack up over the last week. After entering camp with minimal injuries, the Jaguars had a number of players either sit out of practice completely (Cole Van Lanen, Walker Little, Zach Durfee) or be limited to only reps in individual drills (Emmanuel Pregnon, Ezra Cleveland). Other players like Jourdan Lewis were undressed and to the side. There is a long way to go before a real game kicks off, but the injury list is getting a bit long.

"I think that you’ve got a couple of guys, I mean, we’ve got an ankle. We’ve got a couple—not a ton of injuries that would maybe pop up from hitting," Coen said. "More so the general soft tissue hammy stuff, right, and groins and things like that that you guys see popping up all over the NFL right now. Thankfully we haven't had a ton of big, big ones, right? Knock on wood. It's just these are the times of the year it happens, it occurs."

The Running Game ... Because of the Injuries

We talked about the defense dominating the Jaguars' running game, and it would be hard to not draw the conclusion that injuries were a significant reason. The Jaguars had multiple projected Week 1 starters (Patrick Mekari, Walker Little, Ezra Cleveland) miss practice, which led to the Jaguars having a first-team offensive line of Anton Harrison-Jonah Monheim-Robert Hainsey-Wyatt Milum-Chuma Edoga.

As a result, the Jaguars' first-team offensive line looked a good bit like their second-team line. Then the second-team looked like the third-team, and so on and so forth until the Jaguars simply could not get any positive yardage in team drills. The unit was clearly overpowered on Tuesday, and it is easy to say injuries were the biggest reason why this was the case.

The Mistakes

From a dropped snap from Trevor Lawrence in team drills to multiple defensive pass interference calls on the secondary, the Jaguars have had sharper days. Outside of injuries and these self-inflicted mistakes, there weren't many things to truly nitpick, but the Jaguars have to once again prove that they can stay out of their own way when the real games start a month from now.
