Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshews short remain on the reserve/COVID -19 list came to an end on Tuesday early morning and he consulted with reporters on a video conference call a bit later on in the day to discuss his time far from the group.

Minshew called it harsh to be away from the team on what he called the “very first day of school” since he had an “attire selected and everything.” He also said that he never checked favorable for the coronavirus.

Minshew had actually been living with security Andrew Wingard and pass receiver Michael Walker. Wingard was likewise triggered on Tuesday and Minshew said that Walker was the only one of the trio to check positive for COVID-19. The quarterback included that the trio are “gon na ride it solo this year” and stated he believes it was an advantage to happen now because it underscores the significance of following standards to prevent the spread of the virus.

“Did not contract the infection. It took one appearance at me and ran the other way,” Minshew stated.
