Patience is key for Marrone and Jaguars during training camp

Read full article: Patience is key for Marrone and Jaguars during training camp

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Doug Marrone said that patience is the word that hes getting across during training camp.

The Jaguars have had a league-high 12 players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list since training camp began last week. But the large number of players who have been placed on the list has brought up the question if the Jaguars, or the players, could do anything differently. I think thats what a lot of us are going though.
