Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller has a confirmed case of coronavirus, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Miller is in “good spirits” resting at his home and he plans to speak publicly on Friday, according to Rapoport. He is the first current member of the Broncos’ organization to have a confirmed case of the coronavirus.
Last month, former Denver wide receiver Orlando McDaniel died from complications related to the coronavirus. McDaniel had a brief stint with the Broncos during the 1982 season. He was 59 years old.
Miller, 31, is Denver’s all-time leader in sacks. He was named Super Bowl MVP after totaling 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in the Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro (three-time first-team) has totaled 106 sacks and 25 forced fumbles in his career.
NFL facilities have closed down in an effort to slow down the spread of COVID-19. Denver will begin a virtual offseason program April 27.
