Hurricane Dorian, which was upgraded to Category 5 status over the weekend, is projected to move along the East Coast in the coming days. The storm has slowed to a "virtual stall," according to The Weather Channel on Monday morning, making its way through the northwestern part of the Bahamas.
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina are all under state of emergency until further notice.

"First and foremost, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone to make sure everyone's safe and has a plan."

"Hopefully, weather permitting and safety permitting, we will bring the team back Thursday at noon," Marrone said.
Jacksonville isn't the first Florida football team to be impacted by Dorian. Boise State and Florida State were originally scheduled to play their Week 1 FBS matchup in Jacksonville this past Saturday. The game was moved from a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at TIAA Bank Field to a noon ET start time in Tallahassee.
No changes have been made to Jacksonville's Week 1 home matchup against Kansas City on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
