Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh Tests Positive for COVID-19

 As if this rookie campaign for head coach Robert Saleh couldn't get any worse, the Jets head coach has tested positive for COVID-19. 

Reports are Saleh showed symptoms earlier in the week before testing positive. Ron Middleton will serve as acting head coach until Saleh returns. If Saleh doesn't clear COVID protocols by Sunday, Middleton will coach the Jets match-up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Saleh is the third head coach in the NFL to test positive for the virus including the Saints' Sean Payton and the Browns' Kevin Stefanski. New York currently has 14 players on COVID-reserve. 

Every sport has been hit hard by the virus. The National Hockey League has postponed close to 50 games through Christmas weekend, and backed out of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. 

The NBA will not pause the season, but the Brooklyn Nets have been decimated by the virus.
