Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh tested positive for COVID-19

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Jets’ Head coach Robert Saleh has tested positive for COVID-19 after feeling symptoms

For New York, it’s the latest in what has been a surge of coronavirus cases on the team. Tight ends coach Ron Middleton coached practice in Saleh’s absence after finding out about 45 minutes before that the head coach wouldn’t be able to run the session. Saleh, who plans to continue running team meetings virtually, could return as soon as Thursday if he no longer shows symptoms and tests negative.

If Saleh doesn’t test out of the COVID-19 protocols before Sunday, Middleton will also serve as the head coach in New York’s game against Jacksonville.
