Two more Jets tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. One is an unvaccinated player and the other a doctor.
Backup quarterback Joe Flacco was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He is not vaccinated so he’s out a minimum of 10 days. Mike White, who was just activated from the COVID-19 list this week, will be Zach Wilson’s backup.
Starting left guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff also was added to the COVID list. Duvernay-Tardif has a medical doctorate and opted out last season so to treat COVID-19 patients at a long-term care facility in Canada.
Duvernay-Tardif, acquired last month from Kansas City, started the past five games at right guard, replacing Greg Van Roten.
