The Jacksonville Jaguars placed three players from their practice squad on Reserve/ COVID-19 Friday. Those players were cornerback Josh Nurse and receivers Terry Godwin and Josh Hammond.
The reserve/COVID-19 was created this season for players who have contracted COVID-19 or have been around a person or group of people who have tested positive. Either category requires a period to quarantine until cleared, which is one of many elements of the league’s COVID-19 protocol.
Godwin has been on the Jags’ practice squad since the beginning of the regular season. He’s participated in two games (vs. the Packers and Steelers) this season with the team and was able to garner two kick returns, nine offensive snaps, and 10 special teams snaps.
Hammond also has been on the Jags’ 2020 practice squad since its initial beginning but hasn’t participated in a game yet.
Nurse joined the Jags’ practice squad in September. He’s also participated in two games (vs. the Texans and Browns) where he registered nine and 10 special teams snaps, respectively.
Friday’s trio of players puts the Jags at five COVID-19 related transactions this week. They also put cornerback Tre Herndon and guard Ben Bartch on the Reserve/ COVID-19 list for the active roster earlier in the week.
