Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich assuming he won't get players back from COVID list this week

Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is preparing for the worst on Sunday.

Ulbrich said the defensive coaches are taking the approach that the players on the COVID-19 list won’t be cleared to play against the Jaguars.

"We’re approaching it as if none of these guys are coming back," Ulbrich said after practice Thursday. "We’re approaching it as these are the guys we got to run with and that’s what we’ll do."

As of Thursday, linemen John Franklin-Myers and Foley Fatukasi, linebacker Hamsah Nasirildeen, cornerback Michael Carter II and safeties Ashtyn Davis and Sharrod Neasman were on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
