Two weeks after revealing he had tested positive for COVID-19, Broncos star linebacker Von Miller tweeted Thursday night that he is now “negative” for the virus.
Miller appeared on multiple media outlets the day after the Broncos released a statement April 16 confirming his positive test. That included an interview on NBC’s “Third Hour Of Today.”
“I’m feeling better,” Miller said on the program. “It all started with just a simple cough. … My assistant said, ‘Why don’t you get tested? There’s no harm in getting tested.’ I went down the street (to get tested). Two days later, (a) positive result.”
Got my results back. Im “negative” for Covid-19

According to the Broncos, Miller “elected to share his diagnosis publicly to emphasize that anyone can be afflicted with coronavirus.”
Miller expressed shock at the initial test result in his NBC appearance.
“In four weeks, I probably left the house four times … and those four times, I never got out of the car,” he said.
Miller is the only member of the Broncos known to have tested positive for the coronavirus.
