DALLAS _ Almost two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott appears to be on the road to recovery.
He updated fans on his current condition during a live video stream on his Twitch channel Wednesday afternoon.
"I would say I had maybe one or two days where I felt symptoms _ even then it wasn't too bad," Elliott said. "I had a cough and a little bit of shortness of breath. But now I would say I feel good. I feel normal."
Elliott said he has not gotten back to working out yet, and will use the next week to continue resting.
The running back was one of multiple Cowboys players who recently tested positive for COVID-19, and Elliott took issue with the fact that his named was leaked into the public eye.
Not long after the news broke, Elliott tweeted "HIPAA??" in reference to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which ensures health-care providers protect the confidentiality of a patient's medical information.
Elliott clarified that his issue was not with his agent Rocky Arceneaux _ who told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Elliott was "feeling good" after his diagnosis _ but rather the reporters who contacted the agent.
"My agent only confirmed," a message read in part on Elliott's Twitter account. "The story was already written."
Read another Elliott post: "My agent didn't break the story to the media."
While no other names of players who tested positive have been released, Dak Prescott and Dez Bryant _ two notable current and former Cowboys who have worked out with Elliott this offseason _ were reportedly not among the group who did.
