Week 2 Game/Jags Return from Houston Affected By Irma (merged)

Quote:Jacksonville is scheduled to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Marrone said officials are assessing damage to EverBank Field and will then determine whether the game will be played as scheduled. It also could get moved to Nashville, Tennessee or postponed to later in the season.


"The first step right now is to make sure our families are fine," Marrone said. "The second step is to make sure we can get back to Jacksonville. The next step is where our work is going to be done and then the next step, I would believe, is if the stadium is safe and things of that nature. ...

"The only thing I know is that people will be checking on the stadium, people will be checking on the fields. They're going to get back to us sometime just to give us a report to where everything is at so we kind of get a little bit of a heads up or a feel of what we're coming back to when we come back to Jacksonville."

The NFL is not close to making a decision regarding this week's games, said Joe Lockhart, the league's senior vice president of communications. Tampa Bay's delayed season opener is scheduled at home against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and Raymond James Stadium is still being assessed for damage.

"We're having a different conversation than we thought on Friday," Lockhart said earlier on Monday. "Miami and Tampa Bay received less than expected, and Jacksonville probably received more. ... Looking at Jacksonville and Tampa, we don't have any definite word. We're still doing assessments. We hope to have something in next few days."
