Broncos' Von Miller Says He's Been Cleared After Initial COVID-19 Diagnosis

Denver Broncos superstar pass-rusher Von Miller tweeted Thursday that he tested negative for COVID-19. 

Miller initially tested positive for the coronavirus earlier in April. He told Mike Klis of 9News.com on Tuesday that he was feeling "better every day" and that "everything should be back to normal Friday" once his second round of test results came in.  

Per Klis, Miller had also "scheduled for a Hazmat crew specialized in handling potentially hazardous materials or dangerous goods to clean his house on Thursday."

He has continued to attend the team's digital defensive meetings. 

"I've just been here in the crib and I started to get a little cough," Miller told Klis after he was first diagnosed with the coronavirus. "You know I have asthma and I started getting a little cough a couple days ago. My girlfriend she told me when I was asleep she said my cough it didn't sound normal."

Miller, 31, has been one of the best defensive players in the NFL over his nine-year career, accumulating 106 sacks during that time. Last year, he registered 46 tackles (10 for loss) and eight sacks.

The Broncos edge-rusher is one of several NFL figures to have tested positive for COVID-19, including Los Angeles Rams center Brian Allen, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and former player Tony Boselli.

Other figures in the sporting world to have tested positive for the coronavirus include Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets, Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell and Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart. 

To date, 1,067,061 Americans have tested positive for the coronavirus, per CNN.com, leading to 62,860 deaths.
