Jaguars add 2-time Super Bowl champion with Chiefs to support Trevor Lawrence

The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t want to fall behind the Colts in the race for the top spot in the AFC South, and having a roster up to the challenge will be key. Trevor Lawrence knows this could be his breakout season in the NFL if he maintains this level of play.

The recent big home win over the Chargers was a major boost for Liam Coen, who now has his team at a 6–4 record. Additionally, news emerged of a key new defensive addition to the Jags.

According to journalist James Palmer on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the newest member is Juan Thornhill, most recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The defensive acquisition is expected to be a significant upgrade for the team, given his experience winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy twice.

“Jaguars have signed S Juan Thornhill to the practice squad, the team announced today,” the reporter stated. Thornhill will have to compete for a spot on the depth chart against Coen’s top options, Andrew Wingard and Eric Murray.
