JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars will begin offseason workouts April 17, along with other teams with returning head coaches.

The Jaguars had requested to start April 3, the date teams with new coaches can start, since they promoted interim coach Doug Marrone to replace Gus Bradley in January.

The league initially granted the Jaguars an extra week, saying they could start April 10. But the NFL Players Association challenged the ruling and won. After consulting with the league office, the Jaguars announced Tuesday night they will start April 17. The Jacksonville Jaguars hoped to start their offseason program on April 10, but the NFLPA challenged the ruling and won, meaning coach Doug Marrone and the team will begin the program on April 17.

Tom Coughlin, the team's executive vice president of football operations, says "our position is that Doug Marrone is a new head coach after serving as interim head coach for the last two games of the 2016 season."

Coughlin adds that "we are glad to now know our reporting date, although we had planned to begin on April 10, and we had already invited our players to come in on that date."

This is one of three CBA-related issues to arise with the Jaguars since Coughlin took over in January, and there is still one NFLPA grievance pending against the team.

That involves former Jaguars defensive lineman Jared Odrick, who is in a dispute with the team over $5.5 million in salary that was guaranteed against injury and which the team has told him it will not pay after it cut him. That dispute between Odrick and the Jaguars is rooted in the team's request and Odrick's refusal to do his offseason injury rehab at the team facility -- something that is not required of players under the CBA.

An earlier dispute regarding Jaguars players being asked to report earlier than required for their offseason physicals was resolved among the team, the union and the league, a source told ESPN.
