COVID-19 has been running rampant in the NFL thanks to the new omicron variant, and one of its latest targets is Robert Saleh.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, the Jets head coach has tested positive for the lingering virus. Also per Cimini, Saleh could return Thursday if he clears the COVID-19 protocol.
Tight ends coach Ron Middleton will coach in Saleh’s absence for the time being.
Saleh has symptoms, per Jets. He can return tomorrow if he clears protocols. If he’s not cleared by Sunday, Middleton will coach the team on Sunday.
