Mike Tomlin: Luckily I had minimal symptoms, grateful to be healthy

A report emerged earlier Monday that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had been diagnosed with COVID-19. Although the organization did not initially confirm the news, Tomlin did in a statement posted to social media on Monday afternoon.

“I want to thank everyone who reached out to express their concern for my health,” Tomlin said. “Fortunately I had minimal symptoms and I am grateful to be in good health. I would like to thank the media professionals who were aware of my situation and who respected my privacy. It’s very appreciated.

“I’ll be back in the office soon while I continue to work practically from home. Thanks for your support and good wishes! “

The Steelers shut down their facility last week out of caution when several COVID-19 tests came back positive.
