FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After seven days in quarantine, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh cleared the COVID-19 protocols Wednesday morning and returned to the team.
"It's like the first day of school," Saleh said. "[I'm] ready to go another 18 weeks."
Saleh tested positive for COVID-19 last Wednesday and moved into a nearby hotel, where he remained active in the virtual meetings. Interim coach Ron Middleton, usually the tight ends coach, ran practice and led the team in Sunday's 26-21 home victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jets (4-11) went into that game with 20 players, including seven starters, on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
