Since being fired by the New York Jets on Oct. 8, Robert Saleh has kept a relatively low profile, with his only public comments being a statement thanking the Jets organization. But Saleh returned to an NFL facility this week, and even graced the practice field Wednesday, where he watched an offense go through drills.
No, the Jets didn’t welcome him back after the team dropped back-to-back games since parting ways with him, but rather the longtime employer of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the team that invited Saleh to practice. He was on the Green Bay Packers’ practice field, serving in an unnamed role under Packers’ head coach Matt LaFleur, as the two have a decades-long friendship.
