Source: Jets Sent Home Following Presumptive Positive Test

Jets players and coaches were "sent home from the team's training center on Friday after a presumptive positive test," according to a source cited by Brian Costello of the N.Y. POST. The player was "re-tested to see if he is indeed positive and the Jets should know the results" later on Friday. The Jets are scheduled to play the Cardinals on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. That game "may be in jeopardy now" (N.Y. POST, 10/9).

POSITIVE NEWS: In Boston, Volin & McBride note the latest round of COVID-19 tests for the Patriots "were all negative," marking the second straight day of "all tests being negative" after CB Stephon Gilmore's positive test was revealed Wednesday. The Patriots have "not held in-person practices this week" and their home game against the Broncos was moved from Sunday to Monday. The Patriots will "keep their facilities at Gillette Stadium shut down for a third straight day Friday, but the team hopes to hold a practice Saturday" (BOSTON GLOBE, 10/9). In Denver, Mark Kiszla believes if football is a "brotherhood, the Patriots' brothers here in Denver should refuse to get on the team plane to New England." This is where everyone, from Broncos President & CEO Joe Ellis to President to Football Operations & GM John Elway, "should make it clear to the league that the Broncos won't participate in a farce." Kiszla: "If the Broncos and Patriots take the field this weekend, it's nothing but a crass money grab by a league that cares more about its television revenue stream than protecting its players from the dangers of COVID-19" (DENVER POST, 10/9).
