Jaguars Place Gardner Minshew On ReserverCOVID-19 List – Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew was one of five players the team placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Sunday. In addition to Minshew, the team also placed running back Ryquell Armstead, tight end Charles Jones, receiver Michael Walker and safety Andrew Wingard on the list. A player doesn’t have to test positive for the coronavirus to be placed on the list; he also could be quarantined after being around an infected person. NFL teams are not permitted to disclose results of virus tests. Minshew, Walker and Wingard share an apartment together. The Jaguars had activated Jones from the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier Sunday but placed him back on it in the afternoon. The Jaguars have announced Minshew as their starter in 2020 after he threw for 3,271 yards and 21 touchdowns with six interceptions as a rookie in 2019. Minshew, a sixth-round pick out of Washington State, led the Jaguars to a 6-6 record. (Michael DiRocco/ESPN)

Veteran RB Jeremy Hill Tweets He’s Signed With Raiders – Free-agent running back Jeremy Hill tweeted Sunday that he has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, three days after the team placed running back Devontae Booker on the reserve/COVID-19 list and two days after it waived undrafted rookie receiver Siaosi Mariner. Hill, 27, last played in the NFL in 2018, when he suffered a torn ACL in the New England Patriots’ season-opening victory over the Houston Texans. He spent the rest of that season on injured reserve and was out of the league last year. A second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014 out of LSU, Hill rushed for a career-high 1,124 yards with nine touchdowns as a rookie, and his 11 rushing TDs in 2015 tied for the league lead. He has rushed for 2,898 yards in his career, averaging 4.1 yards per carry. Last season, the Raiders scored one touchdown on eight plays from the 1-yard line (12.5%), while the rest of the NFL scored a TD on 59.6% of such plays, according to The Associated Press. Of those eight plays for the Raiders, they were 0-for-4 on run plays from the 1-yard line, 1-for-4 on pass plays.
