Jets HC Robert Saleh tests positive for COVID

Things just keep getting worse for the lowly New York Jets. With the team in the middle of another miserable campaign, which has fans frustrated, things just got more complicated for Sunday's tilt with Jacksonville.

That's because head coach Robert Saleh may not be on the field for this one. On Wednesday, it has been reported that Saleh has tested positive for COVID-19.

Jets’ HC Robert Saleh tested positive for COVID-19, per the team.

Jets’ TE coach Ron Middleton will serve as HC Sunday if Saleh doesn't clear protocols.

Per Adam Schefter, Ron Middleton will serve as head coach on Sunday if Saleh isn't able to clear protocols in time. Middleton currently is New York's tight end's coach. We'll see if Saleh is out there on Sunday, but things aren't looking good.
