Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said that he believed that the team would be starting training camp on July 24, and that was officially confirmed Thursday by the NFL. That will mark the date that both rookies and veterans will report as the team will have its first camp under the Super Bowl LII winning coach.
As expected, the Jags’ 2022 training camp will take place at Episcopal School of Jacksonville, which is five minutes away from the Jags’ original training camp site of TIAA Bank Field. The team is presently having construction done at their original site where a new team facility and headquarters, called the Miller Electric Center, is being built.
In April, Jags president Mark Lamping said the team was investing money towards the two practice fields at Episcopal, where their players have set up individual workouts in the past. The Jags also practiced there under Gus Bradley after their fields were hit with four inches of rain back in 2015.
‘We’ve been working on these plans for about a year,” Lamping said in April. ”When we get to training camp, we are going to be working on two grass fields at Episcopal. We’re investing some money to improve a couple of fields over there. It’s a short bus ride but that’s just for training camp. But you know all the OTAs, rookie minicamp and once we start the preseason games, the practices will be held on the game field and in the indoor facility. So we’ll do that for this season.”
Thanks to Episcopal, the Jags will be able to get ready for an exciting preseason and regular season. The Jags will have the luxury of participating in the first NFL game of the year against the Las Vegas Raiders, who will play them in the league’s annual Hall of Fame preseason game in Canton, Ohio.
After the Jags take on the Raiders, they will play the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Atlanta Falcons, respectively, in the next three preseason games. Once they wrap those games up, the team will start the process of preparing for their first regular season opponent in the Washington Commanders, who they will take on in an away game.
