Quote:*Not practicing were tight end Marcel Jensen (groin), linebacker Dekoda Watson (groin), receiver Lamaar Thomas (back), cornerback Aaron Colvin (knee) and safety Josh Evans (foot).
Colvin won’t be ready until mid-season (at the earliest), Thomas was labeled day to day by coach Gus Bradley and Evans’ foot surgery to remove a bone spur should have him ready for training camp.
*The only player not present was defensive end Chris Clemons. The Jaguars think he’ll be back Wednesday after attending to a family issue. Bradley didn’t express disappointment because the sessions are voluntary, but also added that 89 of the 90 players were present.
*After practice, linebacker Telvin Smith signed his rookie contract, a four-year deal worth $2,431,052. A fifth-round pick earlier this month, Smith will receive a $211,052 signing bonus and count $472,763 on this year’s salary cap.
*Quarterback Chad Henne worked with the 1s and Blake Bortles was exclusively with the second unit offensive line.
*Defensive coordinator Bob Babich talked about it on the radio last week, but the “Otto” linebacker made its debut for the media to see. Watson will have first shot at playing the position, which is designed to be stout against the run and also rush the passer on third down. LaRoy Reynolds, the back-up middle linebacker last year, has moved to the Otto spot.
*Running back Denard Robinson had a nice day – no drops in the passing game.
*At the end of practice, Bradley introduced a period of work for just rookies and other younger players as a way to get Bortles in particular (but others) more snaps. The veterans watched from behind the play.
*Offensive tackle Sam Young and defensive end Red Bryant pushed and shoved each other during an 11-on-11 snap.
*Cornerback Jeremy Harris (back) practiced for the first time since last training camp.
*Defensive tackle Roy Miller (shoulder) is working his way back from surgery and took some snaps, but he’s in management mode right now. He expects to be full go by training camp.
