Les Miles Cleared After Positive COVID-19 Test; Won't Travel for Kansas vs. WVU

Kansas head football coach said Friday that he has been cleared to return to work after testing positive for COVID-19 last week.

According to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, Miles said that despite being cleared, he will not travel with the team for their game against West Virginia on Saturday. Tight ends coach Joshua Eargle will serve as the Jayhawks' acting head coach for the game.

Miles said the following about his decision, per ESPN's Adam Rittenberg: "There is too much still unknown about this virus for me to feel 100 percent confident that I won't transmit it to someone who comes into close contact with me on the team charter, hotel or at the game Saturday.
