Jaguars Notebook: Extra days helping team rest, recuperate

Taking advantage of playing last Thursday, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley adjusted his team’s schedule to account for Thanksgiving this Thursday.

Instead of using Monday as a bonus practice, Bradley limited the players to weightlifting and conditioning.

And instead of the usual Wednesday-Friday practice schedule, he put the players on a Tuesday-Wednesday-Friday work week, giving them the holiday off.

“It’s been good for the health of our team,” Bradley said. “The guys came back and were animated through practice and we were competitive, going back to [doing] one-on-ones.”

The Jaguars didn’t wear pads during the two-hour workout Tuesday and Bradley liked what he saw.
