Media star and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan is the latest sports celebrity to test positive for the COVID-19 virus.
The former New York Giants defensive end began isolating on Saturday when he found out he had been exposed to the virus, according to TMZ.
Strahan, who is a co-host of Good Morning America has been absent from the show this week.
Robin Roberts, another co-host of GMA, confirmed reports that Strahan had missed the show this week because “he has tested positive for COVID.” She added that “he’s at home quarantining right now.”
Fellow GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos said Strahan is “feeling well and looking forward to being back here shortly.”
Strahan did make a remote appearance on Fox NFL Sunday during the NFC Championship coverage between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers.
The 49-year-old said he is not experiencing any severe symptoms from the COVID-19 virus.
The Hall of Famer played his entire career with the New York Giants, recording 141.5 sacks, including 22.5 sacks in the 2001 season, which remains the NFL record for one season.

This is trash. WTF am I paying for?
Agreed. I thought Outkick was against cornoabro over sensationalism of this common cold like virus? Strahan will be just fine, that is unless his ex-wife gets a hold of him in his weakened state.
Austin makes a good point. I love outkick and the thought out, well written articles. But I am curious what it will be like in the next 6 months when we have no football. I prefer good quality stories over pushing out irrelevant click bait content like other sites. Cautiously optimistic about the future still
I agree. Not sure it’s worth a subscription. It’s just a blog now.
Barely a blog. Copy and paste from Twitter, like every other “journalist” outfit that I DO NOT have to pay for.
It is becoming Twitter with paragraph formatting.
Who gives a rat’s ass? Boring
