The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Blake Bortles their starting quarterback to open the 2017 season.

Bortles started the first and second games of the preseason before Chad Henne started the third game. On Thursday, Henne completed eight of 14 passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns with no interceptions. Bortles completed 12 of 16 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown with an interception.

Bortles was the third overall pick by the Jaguars in 2014 and became their starter in Week 4 that season.
