JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have a number of players coming off big seasons who are worth getting excited about. But the one player who may be one of the most important is someone who didn’t play a single snap in 2025. <\/p>\n

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen<\/a> spoke from the annual league meetings in Phoenix this week, and he provided an update — and reason for excitement — on second-year safety Caleb Ransaw as he prepares<\/a> for his NFL debut.<\/p>\n

Ransaw’s 2026<\/p>\n

Ransaw notably missed his entire rookie season due to a foot injury in training camp that would require surgery. The No. 88 pick in last year’s draft<\/a> and the second player the new Jaguars regime drafted after only Travis Hunter, there were big hopes for Ransaw before his injury. Hopes that clearly have not been dashed inside the Miller Electric Center as the Jaguars prepare for 2026. <\/p>\n

\u201cVery much a fan of Caleb when we drafted him. My relationship with [Florida Head Coach] Jon Sumrall was a huge part of that obviously and how much he liked Caleb,” Coen said this week. <\/p>\n

“He’s been working out a ton with strength conditioning, with athletic training and I haven’t been able to see him but they say he looks good, he’s running around pain free and really moving around well, he’s gotten stronger.” <\/p>\n

Getting Ransaw into the fold would be massive for the Jaguars as long as he hits, and the Jaguars’ confidence in him and his skill-set and versatilty has not wavered despite his lack of a rookie season. Ransaw was drafted just as much for his competitive fire and work-ethic as he was his talent, and that has helped give him a runway of oppurtunity after a quasi-redshirt season. <\/p>\n

Ransaw, of course, will be joining a depth chart at safety that had several players impress last season. Eric Murray became a solid veteran and leader at the position, Antonio Johnson took a big leap, and Rayuan Lane flashed. Now, the Jaguars are adding an exciting and versatile talent like Ransaw back into the mix, a scenario Coen seems more than pleased with. <\/p>\n

“Sp look, it’s a nice thing where you’ve got [S] Antonio Johnson who ascended towards the end of season. [S] Eric Murray coming back, [DB] Rayuan Lane [III] another year and then you’re like, well, shoot Caleb who knows what that could look like. We’re just excited to see what it could be.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have a number of players coming off big seasons who are worth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-217089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
