NY Jets, La'Mical Perine
NY Jets’ running back La’Mical Perine is the team’s first player to test positive for COVID-19.
The NY Jets made it through training camp and 16 weeks of the NFL season, but they’ve finally had a player test positive for COVID-19, rookie running back La’Mical Perine.
The team announced that Perine has tested positive on Wednesday and they subsequently placed him on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, he will miss this week’s game against the New England Patriots meaning that his season is over.
The Jets are currently in the process of undergoing further testing to determine any possible close contacts.
