Yesterday, Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer made national headlines for his comments regarding a player’s vaccination status and their ability to make the team’s initial 53-man roster.
Here was Meyer’s full statement on the matter:
“Everyone was considered. That was part of the production, let’s start talking about this, and then also is he vaccinated or not,” Meyer said. “Can I say that that was a decision maker? It was certainly in consideration.”
Those comments drew fire throughout the media, and ultimately sparked an investigation by the NFL Players Association as well.
Today, the Jaguars released a statement following Meyer’s comments, stating that no player was released due to their vaccination status.
