According to Tom Pelissero, Jets WR Jamison Crowder has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be going on the team’s reserve list, which leaves his status for Week 1 “up in the air.”
Pelissero adds that Crowder is believed to be an isolated case.
Crowder, 27, is a former fourth-round pick by Washington back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.825 million contract and made a base salary of $705,000 for the 2018 season.
Washington allowed Crowder to leave as an unrestricted free agent and he signed a three-year, $28.5 million deal with the Jets in 2019. He renegotiated his contract back in June and will make $5,000,000 this season before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
In 2020, Crowder appeared in 12 games for the Jets and caught 59 passes for 699 yards (11.8 YPC) and six touchdowns. He also had one rush attempt for 14 yards.
