Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has recovered after testing positive for the coronavirus in April, but his symptoms were significant, especially with a history of asthma.

Miller revealed the worst of the symptoms in an interview with Kent Babb of the Washington Post:

"Not being able to breathe. I got asthma, but it was past the asthma attack—like my lungs were constricting. My asthma nebulizer helped, but it still didn’t feel like it was supposed to. That was the most frightening part. Just going to sleep knowing that my oxygen level could drop and I could wake up and have to go to the hospital.
