The Jaguars will attempt to keep getting rookie quarterback Blake Bortles team reps in practice during the regular season, coach Gus Bradley said Sunday.

Bradley said, “We’re still going to still continue to work with him in practice. Probably more aggressive when you consider we’ll try to get him reps in team situations. We’ll still take him off the field and work one-on-one with him. Those things I think you’ll see us aggressively help him along because he has made a lot of progress and we want to make sure that doesn’t slow down.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Once the regular season starts, the starting quarterback usually gets all the reps with the offense and the backup quarterback runs the scout team (the opposing team’s offense) against the Jaguars’ defense. The writing is kind of on the wall here that the young Jags likely aren't going anywhere this season, and at some point they'd be wise to see what Bortles can do after watching a few games from the sidelines.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles was 10-of-16 passing for 158 yards and a touchdown Friday night against the Lions. That pushes his preseason totals to 28-of-44 for 435 yards and a touchdown, or a passer rating of 103.9.

Nevertheless, head coach Gus Bradley said after the game that Chad Henne will start the opener, per Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union.

Fantasy Impact:

Depending how competitive the Jaguars are during Henne's starts will determine how long he holds the job. The writing is on the wall. We expect that Bortles will be under center at some point this season.

Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch believes rookie quarterback Blake Bortles continues to pick up the offense at a quick pace.

Fisch pointed out two occasions in which Bortles made a proper adjustment in Thursday's preseason game at Chicago.

The first came on a 16-yard completion to Kerry Taylor on 3rd-and-5. Bortles then impressed many with his 29-yard pass to Taylor later in the game. On second-and-1, Chicago loaded the box with defenders. Bortles checked to a pass and went through his progressions to find Taylor down the left sideline with an accurate throw.

Bortles has completed 18-of-28 passes for 277 yards in the preseason.

"He was able to move the ball with great tempo," Fisch said. "We were able to extend some drives where we didn't in the first game. ... I thought he threw the ball well. He continues to throw the ball confidently and rip it in there with some good velocity."

QB Blake Bortles finally took his long-awaited reps with the Jaguars’ first-team offense on Monday.

It didn’t last long.

Bortles took three snaps during an 11-on-11 red zone period and coach Gus Bradley said he was pleased with the way the rookie quarterback handled himself. That was just as important as the result of the plays.

"I think the speed of the game, it was good for him to see that," Bradley said. "I was sitting back there and I thought it was really good for him to go against the ones like that to get a feel for the speed, to get a feel for the rush.

"Sitting back there and watching it, I just felt like that was good for him."

Fantasy Impact:

It's a start for Bortles who is still fully expected to sit behind Chad Henne once the season starts.
