Jets' Robert Saleh cleared to return from COVID-19 list

Robert Saleh was cleared to return to Jets’ facility after testing positive for COVID-19 last week.

Saleh will run practice Wednesday as the Jets begin preparing for Sunday’s game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"It’s like the first day of school," Saleh said on a zoom call Wednesday morning. "Ready to go another 18 weeks."

Saleh officially was cleared around 7 a.m. Tight ends coach Ron Middleton coached the Jets in Saleh’s absence last week and led them to a 26-21 win over the Jaguars.

The Jets will be getting a large number of players off of the COVID-19 list as well, according to Saleh.
