Washington Redskins legend Dexter Manley is reportedly progressing in his fight against the novel coronavirus.

It was announced over the weekend that Manley had come down with COVID-19, and that he was in the hospital fighting the virus and receiving oxygen. A person close to Manley’s family said the former all-pro defensive end is “stable and resting comfortably.” The person had spoken to Manley’s doctors, who said  Manley “is a big strong guy and is not in imminent danger.”

Manley was a legendary player for Washington, earning the nickname the ‘Secretary of Defense’ while playing in the 1980s where he won two Super Bowls with the team.
