Jacksonville Jaguars
Bortles to get first-team reps during camp
Jags holding firm that Henne will be the unquestioned starter
By: Doug Orth | Jun 26 2014, 4:20 pm

Jacksonville HC Gus Bradley has maintained all along that incumbent starter Chad Henne will be under center when the Jags open the season at Philadelphia. The second-year head coach told NFL Media's Alex Flanagan on NFL Total Access that the team has gotten behind Henne as the leader. Bradley revealed that rookie Blake Bortles will get first-team reps during training camp so he gets a "feel for that type of environment." If Henne struggles as expected, Bortles might get to experience the real thing sooner than the Jaguars brass hopes. (NFL.com)

FFToday's Take: The Jaguars figure to reduce their dependence on the turnover-prone Henne as much as possible by leaning on Toby Gerhart and an improved defense. The same formula could be used to break in Bortles, although there is no harm in easing in the raw No. 3 overall pick. Bortles figures to draw some starts near the end of the season at the very least and projects as the Jags' long-term starter beginning in 2015.
