JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars receiving corps wore “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts during pregame warmups prior to Thursday night’s 21-13 win against the Tennessee Titans.
Cecil Shorts III, Marqise Lee, Ace Sanders and Allen Hurns wore the shirts while they were running around the field and catching passes more than two hours before kickoff at EverBank Field.
It’s the first time the group has worn those shirts during warmups this season.
Defensive end Ryan Davis was also spotted wearing the shirt during warmups.
College, high school, and professional athletes across the country have worn the shirts over the past several weeks as a tribute to New Yorker Eric Garner, who died in July after being put in a chokehold by police while being subdued.
President Obama praised LeBron James for wearing one during pregame warmups before the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against Brooklyn on Dec. 9.
