According to a report from Tom Pelissero, the Jacksonville Jaguars are placing 12 of their 16 practice-squad players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Pelissero notes this decision is a proximity issue from contact tracing and up to the point of the report, only the one player on the team announced on Saturday morning is known to have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Jaguars are still expected to host the Detroit Lions as planned on Sunday afternoon.
