Health concerns that continue to remain worldwide could force the Jacksonville Jaguars to play all eight of their home games at TIAA Bank Field this season.

Because of the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the threat that it still presents as a world pandemic, the likelihood if the Jacksonville Jaguars playing two home games back-to-back in the UK has grown more unlikely.

According to The Daily Mail, the concerns for the Jaguars and other NFL team slated to come across the pond because of health uncertainty means Jacksonville and other host teams will play their games at home stadiums. This is something that Jaguars fans should revel in given the pushback by the masses after it was announced by the organization there would be another home game played on foreign soil.

The only thing missing might be the fans in TIAA Bank Field.
