NEW YORK — Jets coach Robert Saleh stunned many on Wednesday when he announced tackle Max Mitchell was being placed on the non-football injury list.
Two days later, he confirmed why Mitchell would miss the rest of the season.
A report by ESPN was released Thursday that Mitchell had blood clots in his right calf and lung. John Mitchell, Max’s father, said in the report that his son has a hereditary condition called Factor V Leiden but he is expected to make a full recovery.
