The Jets placed OT George Fant on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
This designation follows intake testing on the first day of training camp. Fant was one of 15 players placed on the list. Pelissero noted 14 of those were for positive tests, but it’s unclear if Fant was one of them.
This news comes on the same day Robert Saleh said the Jets’ vaccination rate among players was “above-average.”
Once cleared, Fant will compete against recently-signed veteran Morgan Moses for the starting right tackle job in training camp. Fant started 14 games for the Jets in 2019 after leaving the Seahawks in free agency.
