Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen returned to practice on Friday, even meeting with reporters, after missing part of practice on Wednesday with an undisclosed illness.

Coen missed a media availability session on New Year's Eve, but returned Thursday to speak to reporters.

On Friday, the first-year head coach told the press he felt good and was "getting better."

"Everybody's kind of been feeling it," he said. "But guys are doing a good job of washing hands, making sure we bring up some of those germ-spreading philosophies."

Whether Coen has the flu or covid, he acknowledged that the Jags locker room has multiple guys who are sick.

"Look, you've been dealing with that since high school. High school football, I remember, so much just spreads. And similar in college, same thing," he said. "So, you deal with it -- it's just the way it is.

"Locker rooms, football, sports, whatever it is, you’ve just got to take extra precautions."

The Jaguars have not yet responded to questions.
