Positive COVID-19 test shuts down New York Jets

The New York Jets have closed their facility after a positive COVID-19 test.

It is becoming a familiar refrain, sadly as the NFL mirrors the world. The New York Jets were sent home Friday and their team facility closed after a player tested positive for COVID-19.

The test, of course, is going to be re-run to see if it is a false positive. Meanwhile, Sunday’s Week 5 opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, were supposed to fly to New Jersey and have to wait to see what is next.

This is the latest in a series that has seen two games rescheduled in Week 5. The Buffalo-Tennessee game will be played Tuesday and the Denver-New England contest has been moved to Monday.
