The Jacksonville Jaguars are sticking with Blake Bortles—for now.
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone announced Saturday that Bortles will start over Chad Henne for Jacksonville's Week 1 showdown with the Houston Texans. Mark Long of the Associated Press first reported the decision.
Bortles has been on the hot seat since the end of a 2016 campaign that saw Jacksonville go 3-13. During that stretch, the 2014 No. 3 overall pick completed 58.9 percent of his passes for 3,905 yards, 23 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
By the time that dreadful season concluded, Bortles cemented himself as one of two players to toss at least 50 interceptions between 2014-2016.
