Danny Smith Details COVID Diagnosis, Happy To Be Back Coaching Football

Like almost all football coaches, Danny Smith loves coaching football. Being around his guys, leading the team, getting the job done, and winning on Sundays. That’s been his focus for almost all of his time with Pittsburgh. But briefly earlier this season, his focus was just on getting well.

Smith tested positive for COVID in late November and briefly spent time away from the team. He ultimately didn’t miss a game, a byproduct of the Steelers/Ravens game repeatedly postponed, but hated to be away from football even for the short time he was.

Talking to the media yesterday, Smith was asked about his COVID diagnosis.
