The Detroit Lions are currently without quarterback Jared Goff, who tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
He spoke with “The Karsch and Anderson Show” on 97.1 The Ticket this morning, and gave an optimistic update as to his health.
“I’m doing good,” he said. “It’s pretty much a mild cold, I’m feeling fine. I had some symptoms pop up really on Sunday night after the game and Monday morning. I figured I’d just make sure this is good to go, and sure enough, it was positive.”
“Just take care of my body, sleep, hydrate, medicine…just take care of my body and get back to playing as soon as I can.”
Goff was then asked about the chances of potentially being back in action on Sunday.
“I don’t know, that’s a good question. I don’t know the chances, I think I have a chance of testing negative as well as I have chance of testing positive every day, I don’t know. I’ll test every day and we’ll find out, and if I happen to test negative in the next few days there’s a chance. But I don’t know.”
“I feel fine, it’s mild cold symptoms. I feel totally fine.”
Goff also stated that this isn’t the first time this season that he’s had less than perfect health.
“It’s interesting, I had the flu a couple weeks ago and they didn’t have a problem with me playing. But I can’t play with this…I tested flu positive and I was in the building the next day, there was no issue.”
The Lions are set to host the Atlanta Falcons this upcoming Sunday.
