  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars concluded their 2026 training camp and preseason schedule with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night. General Manager James Gladstone is set to conduct roster cutdown day on Sunday, when the team must reduce its roster to 53 players. Several players have seen their stock rise or fall over the course of the final month of practices and games.\n\nRunning back Ameer Abdullah's play has given him a boost on the roster, as he provides stability as both a ball carrier and a pass catcher. With LeQuint Allen currently sidelined, Abdullah could contribute on passing downs. On the other hand, cornerback Christian Braswell's role on defense expanded as the season progressed, but his inconsistent play in training camp has put his roster spot in jeopardy. He allowed eight completions on 11 targets for 79 yards with no touchdowns in two preseason games.\n\nAt left guard, guard Emmanuel Pregnon has emerged as a potential starter, with offensive coordinator Grant Udinski praising his recent performance. Tight ends Quintin Morris and Hunter Long, however, failed to make an impact and both are likely to be released. Defensively, defensive end BJ Green has secured a spot on the depth chart due to his steady performance and playmaking potential in both run and pass games.",
