Perry, who is now a member of the Miami Dolphins, acknowledged this week that he contracted and recovered from COVID-19. The Tennessee native, who reported to the Dolphins team facility on Monday, participated in a team initiative aimed at helping others recover from the virus.
Perry was among several Miami players that donated blood plasma as part of a partnership with Baptist Health South Florida.
“I was surprised initially but was happy because I was presented with the opportunity to give back and donate plasma and help people in need,” Perry said during a video posted to the team website.
