Jaguars' Michael Walker: Sent to COVID list
The Jaguars placed Walker (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
As an undrafted rookie last season, Walker got some run with the 53-man roster starting Week 9, serving as the Jaguars' kick returner and hauling in two of three targets before hitting IR in late December due to a hamstring injury.
