Doug Marrone on 12 Jaguars players landing on COVID-19 list: ‘I don’t think anyone’s being negligent’

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed 12 players, including quarterback Gardner Minshew, on the COVID-19 reserve list as of Monday morning — the most among any team in the league.

While that can be concerning, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone says there isn’t a particular reason why so many of his players landed on the list.

“I don’t think anyone’s being negligent. I really don’t believe that,” Marrone said Monday, via ESPN. “Everyone understands what’s at stake, a roster spot or what’s going on or missing time … You’ve just got to be aware of your surroundings and where you are, and there’s a lot of different ways that you can come in contact with the virus.
