Chargers coach Anthony Lynn revealed on Tuesday’s season debut of Hard Knocks: Los Angeles that he contracted the coronavirus.
During a Zoom meeting with the team’s players, Lynn took questions in regards to COVID-19 safety protocols before saying, “I can’t promise you that you aren’t going to get infected…I got infected.”
A few player’s reactions were shown, most notably the wide-eyed defensive end Joey Bosa.
During a conversation with a Chargers staff member shown on “Hard Knocks,” Lynn said his symptoms included body aches and a cough.
“If I hadn’t been watching that golf event and saw that golfer complain about back aches and soreness, I never would have gotten tested and probably gotten people infected,” Lynn said.
Lynn, who is now the third reported coach to have the coronavirus, is now back to his normal self. “I’m good,” Lynn said. “I didn’t tell nobody…I feel like I’m back.”
Lynn is scheduled to speak to the media on Friday.
