Jaguars Place 3 Players on Practice Squad/COVID-19 List

The Jaguars have placed three more players on the COVID-19 list, this time three members of the practice squad.

Three members of the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad were added to the practice squad/COVID-19 list on Friday, the team announced. 

Rookie wide receiver Josh Hammond, wide receiver Terry Godwin, and cornerback Josh Nurse were all placed on the list by the team on Friday. 

While neither player was set to suit up to play against the Baltimore Ravens in this Sunday's Week 15 matchup, it appears Godwin had been playing a role for the Jaguars in practice this week before being placed on the COVID-19 list. Godwin was serving as the scout team's version of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"He did well until he went on the COVID list. I mean, he’s an ex-baseball player, so—I didn’t realize how well he threw the ball. Well, we really did a good job and then today, we were struggling with—and then obviously everyone wants to go in there and play quarterback," Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said on Friday. 

"So, we had [Nathan] Cottrell in there, we had [Keelan] Cole jumped in there today. So, I mean, in reality we’re trying to give our defense kind of, at least somewhat, of what to expect. But you can’t be able to show them the speed and the arm and all those things. You try to simulate it as much as you can.”

The Jaguars placed rookie offensive lineman Ben Bartch on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The team also placed cornerback Tre Herndon on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. 

"The Reserve/COVID-19 list is a reserve category created by the NFL for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons," the Jaguars said in a release. "Clubs are not permitted to comment on a player’s medical status other than referring to roster status. Clubs may not disclose whether player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19."
