Context: recent meetings and what to watch
Series history shows the Saints holding a narrow edge in regular-season meetings, leading 5-3. In preseason play the Saints are ahead 2-1. The most recent regular-season meeting between the teams came in 2023, when the Jaguars won 31-24 on a Thursday night. The last preseason clash between the clubs occurred in 2021, a 23-21 Saints victory.
For New Orleans fans, preseason games are primarily about evaluating depth, special teams and young players fighting for roster spots. While the Saints’ full roster plans and internal position competitions were not detailed in the game preview, the Jaguars’ camp battles provide a clearer list of storylines visitors and local media may track Sunday.
"Three Jaguars position battles to watch: running back, wide receiver and safety."
Those contests carry particular implications for how Jacksonville will deploy personnel in the regular season, but they also affect in-game matchups and playing time that Saints coaches will observe closely.
- Running back: Veterans DeeJay Dallas and Ameer Abdullah are competing with rookie J’Mari Taylor for the fourth — and possibly fifth — running back spot. Coaches will weigh special teams value and pass-protection ability.
- Wide receiver: The Jaguars are deciding whether to keep veterans Austin Trammell and Tim Jones or to lean on rookies Josh Cameron and C.J. Williams; punt-return ability and special-teams contributions will factor into the decision.
- Safety: Depth behind Antonio Johnson is unsettled, with Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane III and rookie Jalen Huskey getting looks in camp.
Local implications and what’s next
For Saints supporters, the exhibition provides a low-stakes chance to assess first- and second-team units and to see how coaches manage snaps for veterans and young players. It also gives local media windows to evaluate opponents’ matchups that could surface in the regular season.
The Jaguars plan to resume practice at their Miller Center on Monday after the trip to New Orleans. Their schedule includes a practice open to fans on Aug. 19 — tickets distributed for that event — and the club’s first of two home preseason games on Aug. 21 at 7:30 p.m. Local fans who follow roster developments for both teams should watch how playing time is allocated Sunday, especially for players on the bubble and special-teams contributors.
With the regular season still weeks away, Sunday’s game at the Superdome will matter most as a measuring stick: it will provide coaches and fans with information about depth, health and special-teams readiness as both clubs aim to fine-tune rosters ahead of final cuts.
