    Leading into the Jaguars’ preseason game next Saturday against the New York Jets, coach Gus Bradley will use the same practice plan for quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne.

    Translation: At least publicly, Bradley is no closer to naming a starter for the season opener against Kansas City than he was a week ago.

    During a news conference Saturday afternoon, Bradley didn’t announce a starting quarterback for the Jets game, only that the strategy of splitting the practice snaps will continue.

    “It worked out [Friday] that they both had quite a few reps with the first offensive line,â€￾ Bradley said. “We’ll go [into the week] with a plan, and it may get off the plan a little bit, but we’ll see how the week progresses.â€￾

    Gabbert started against the Dolphins, playing four series (17 snaps) and completing 5-of-10 passes for 19 yards and an interception.

    Henne played three series (22 snaps) and was 8-of-11 passing for 87 yards.
