Ramsey says Jaguars know why he's not at voluntary workouts

Cornerback Jalen Ramsey responded Friday to Jacksonville Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin, who expressed disappointment Thursday that the team didn't have full attendance for voluntary offseason conditioning programs.

Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith were the only two absences.

Ramsey's agent, David Mulugheta, tweeted that Ramsey was in his hometown of Nashville, training for the upcoming season.

To be clear, Jalen Ramsey is exactly where Jalen should be during his off season. He's spending time with his young daughter & family while training in his hometown of Nashville. In addition the Jags are fully aware of why he is not taking part in the voluntary off season program

Ramsey, 24, then tweeted his own response, reiterating that the team knew why he wasn't in Jacksonville.

"Fully aware" & "voluntary" meaning I don't HAVE to be there BUT they know the EXACT REASONS I am not. My teammates know it's ALL love & know I'll be ready when it's time! ' https://t.co/NASgnu6egT

It's the second straight year that Ramsey has missed this portion of the offseason. Smith, however, was a surprise absentee after attending every year since he entered the league in 2014.
