The Jacksonville Jaguars have adjusted their travel plans to London due to the impact of Hurricane Milton. The team confirmed that their departure has been slightly delayed as a result of the hurricane, which brought powerful winds, storm surge, and flooding to parts of Florida after hitting the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm.
As a consequence of the delay, the Jaguars had to cancel a scheduled press conference at their team hotel outside London on Friday. The press conference has been rescheduled for Saturday morning, ahead of their game against the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Typically, the Jaguars depart for London on Thursday night and arrive on Friday morning for their games in the city. Despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Milton, coach Doug Pederson expressed confidence in the team's ability to adhere to their travel schedule.
He stated, 'It could affect some timing tomorrow trying to get out, but it looks good, it looks promising anyway, for our window to get out of here sort of on time with not too many delays or hiccups in the next 24 hours or so.'
The Jaguars are closely monitoring the situation and are hopeful that they will be able to travel to London in time for their game against the Bears. Fans and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting the team's arrival and are looking forward to an exciting match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
