New York Jets coach Robert Saleh plans to miss next game after positive COVID-19 test

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Robert Saleh, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, is prepared to miss Sunday's home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"We're proceeding as if I won't coach on Sunday," Saleh said Friday on a Zoom call with reporters. "If I do come up with two negatives, it would be an easy adjustment. But we're operating as if I will not be there Sunday."

Saleh, who said he feels "good," was awaiting a test result from Friday morning. He would have to test negative again Saturday to clear league protocols.
