The Jaguars didn’t want to tear up their water-logged grass practice fields on Thursday.
Fortunately, they found an accommodating neighbor.
The team moved Thursday’s walkthrough and practice to Episcopal, just roughly five minutes away from EverBank Field. The Eagles have an artificial turf field and are coached by former Jaguars standout quarterback Mark Brunell.
Jaguars coach Gus Bradley opened his Thursday news conference at EverBank Field by thanking Episcopal.
“It worked out great for us,” Bradley said. “Today’s practice was really sharp. It took us like 7 1/2 minutes to get over there and come back, so everything’s on schedule.
