Things can't get any worse for the New York Jets, can they?
Well on Friday, they did, when the Jets sent all coaches and players home after an unnamed player was diagnosed positive with COVID-19.
The news of course puts Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals in question now, just two days before the two teams meet at MetLife Stadium.
Already the NFL has had to reschedule multiple games involving the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots due to COVID-19. The Patriots game against Denver is now scheduled to play Monday at 5 ET, while the Titans will host the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday night.
There was the threat by the NFL earlier in the week that it could consider forfeiting games if it felt that teams were not adhering to COVID guidelines, but so far the League has not executed on that threat.
The Jets and Cardinals do not share a similar bye week, meaning the game will either be played Sunday if no new positive tests come, or it could be moved to Monday or Tuesday. Stay tuned.
