O-Zone: Big number (Jaguars.com)
Guard Cooper Hodges, a seventh-round selection by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft, indeed impressed during the ‘23 offseason and early in ‘23 training camp. The Jaguars liked him very much – enough to keep him on the active roster entering the regular season even though he was going to start the season on injured reserve with a patella injury.

We don’t know for certain how he would have fared. I expect he will enter the offseason and camp with a chance to contribute or start. It’s tricky to assume he will be able to do that with him not yet having played an NFL regular-season game.
