Bartch (ankle) received starter reps at left guard during the Jaguars' offseason program, James Johnson of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bartch suffered an ankle injury during the Jaguars' final game last season, but he appears to have moved past the issue and should be good to go for the start of the 2022 campaign. However, Jacksonville signed Brandon Scherff to a three-year deal this offseason, so Bartch will have to switch sides on the offensive line if he wants to remain a stater.

EDGE Analysis
Bartch suffered the injury on Jacksonville's opening offensive possession. He's served as the team's starting right guard, so his continued absence would require K.C. McDermott to step into a larger role.
