The Jaguars are going across the pond for week 4 to take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Bijan Robinson has a new number with a big Atlanta history, a newly signed contract and huge expectations no rookie Falcons running back has faced in recent years.

More than two dozen Jaguars were announced as not playing and several more never got in the game, including nearly all of the starters and frontline players. Here are my four biggest takeaways from the game:

Matt Ryan’s pass attempts were much like his Indianapolis Colts’ preseason debut.

The Jaguars preseason schedule is set.

Urban Meyer is quick to remind Trevor Lawrence of the process.

The Jaguars are headed back to their home away from home this year.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In what has been a slow offseason for high school football coaching movement, Palatka made the first hire of the new year on Wednesday. Turner heads to Putnam County from his athletic director role at Menendez, although he has a football background. Turner coached Menendez for five seasons from 2013-17, going 31-24 and reaching the state playoffs three times. Turner coached for three seasons in North Carolina prior to his arrival at Menendez and went 14-19. Turner will replace Willie Fells, a Palatka alum who went 6-24 in his three seasons there.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s been a week since the Jaguars made it official and hit reset on the football side of the operations. Raheem Morris, Falcons interim head coachInterviewed with the Jaguars on Jan. 7, per the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Robert Saleh, Niners defensive coordinatorOne of the first coaches linked to the Jaguars open coaching position. A former Jaguars linebacker coach under Gus Bradley, Saleh has already interviewed for jobs with the Chargers, Falcons, Jets and Lions. Louis Riddick, ESPN analystOne of the first to interview with the Jaguars, Riddick would be an out-of-the-box hire on the surface.

The Patriots went back to work Saturday, Oct. 17, one day after a fifth player on the team tested positive for COVID-19 and one day before their twice-postponed game against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos had COVID-19 news of their own Saturday: Running backs coach Curtis Modkins has tested positive and won’t make the trip to New England. Elsewhere, the Jacksonville Jaguars said that a practice-squad player tested positive. The Jaguars also placed defensive end Josh Mauro on the regular COVID-19 list. The Falcons had to shut their facility Thursday but reopened Friday after one nonplayer tested positive.

Jones had been listed as questionable after missing practice throughout the week with a hamstring injury. Even so, the winless Falcons’ secondary gets a boost with safeties Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Ricardo Allen (elbow) returning from injuries. ___PHILADELPHIA AT PITTSBURGHEagles: TE Hakeem Butler; RB Jason Huntley, WR DeSean Jackson, WR Alshon Jeffery, CB Avonte Maddox, QB Nate Sudfeld, DE Casey Toohill. Falcons: S Jaylinn Hawkins, WR Julio Jones, CB A.J. Ravens: RB Justice Hill, WR Chris Moore, QB Trace McSorley, DT Broderick Washington, DT Justin Ellis, OL Tyre Phillips.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Menendez won its football game and lost its head coach. The Falcons parted ways with Kenny Sanchez on Friday, an abrupt end to one of the biggest coaching hires of the offseason. Sanchez led Menendez (1-1) to a 28-3 win at Gainesville Eastside Thursday night. Menendez won its first district title in its 20-year history last season under coach Kyle Skipper. If the move to hire him was surprising, Sanchez’s dismissal after just two games — and following a victory — was just as surprising.

Especially after watching another real bad team beat our real bad team. We’ve seen it before throughout this forgettable season. I could also write about what there is to look forward to next season. Just another real bad day that we’ve seen all too often. That’s probably best with the 2019 season going as it has.
