Jaguars staying another night in Houston because of Irma
The Jacksonville Jaguars have been in Houston so long now that they have a local gym.
The Jaguars were forced Monday to stay another night in Houston because of Hurricane Irma, creating a stressful situation for players, coaches and staff as well as family members awaiting their return.
“It’s very difficult,” coach Doug Marrone said Monday on a conference call with reporters. “You’re looking at the news and trying to make sure we check on family. Operationally, from that end, it’s always a challenge. Again, that’s where all of our resources are put right now: Making sure that the safety for the people that are back in Jacksonville.
“As far as how people handle it, I think everyone handles it differently. Overall, we’re just trying to create the best support group or net that we can do in communication between the people that we have here and the people that are back in Jacksonville.”
