New York Jets coach Todd Bowles may miss Saturday’s game against the New England Patriots after being hospitalized with an illness.
The Jets did not disclose the nature of the illness, saying only that the coach is in stable condition. Linebackers coach Mike Caldwell will coach the team if Bowles cannot.
Bowles’s situation doesn’t sound serious, and there is optimism surrounding his status.
No heart attack or anything that severe for Todd Bowles. He remains at hospital in stable condition. Status for Sun still uncertain
