Mike White, Joe Flacco Put On COVID-19 List
3 years agoNew York Jets quarterbacks Mike White and Joe Flacco were both placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. White tested positive for the virus, while Flacco was deemed a close contact. The good news is that rookie quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will be available to return from a four-game absence and start against the Houston Texans in Week 12 this Sunday. With both White and Flacco likely unavailable this weekend, Josh Johnson will probably be promoted off the practice squad to back up Wilson against the Texans. It's unknown if White is vaccinated, but if he is, he could return in time for Sunday's game if he's asymptomatic and returns two negative tests. Wilson will have a great matchup in his return, but he's struggled in his first six games in the NFL and is likely to be rusty after a long absence.
