Only three players on the Jacksonville Jaguars roster will sit out the 2020 NFL season.

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to strike fear all over the world, many people, including athletes, are concerned for their health and well being. The NFL and the Jacksonville Jaguars are included in this situation.

As some people are considered high risk of contracting the virus, players were allowed to opt out of playing this season and earn $350,000.
