Browns player Jamie Gillan is learning that even if you’re young and healthy, COVID-19 won’t necessarily go away quickly.

Gillan, who was placed on the Browns’ reserve / COVID-19 list on Thursday, told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network that he tested positive earlier this month, he thought the virus was out of his system and then went back to test positive this week.

“I thought I was tired,” Gillam said of the first symptoms felt around July 4. “I went, hit and kicked. I had two days of symptoms where it hurt and I had a fever. On the third day I had no fever or symptoms. I discovered that July 9 had it. I quarantined for about two weeks from the ninth and then returned to normal life. I have tested positive for antibodies [on Tuesday, July 28]. Then [Wednesday, July 29], somehow, I gave positive. I feel great since it’s been almost a month since I initially tested positive. Remember, we are all in this together. Wear a mask. “

Gillan’s experience shows that players who get the virus, even if they feel good, can lose a lot of playing time. Playing soccer in a pandemic will not be easy.
