Former Washington Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley, who amassed 97.5 sacks during his 11-year NFL career, has been hospitalized because of COVID-19, per Les Carpenter of the Washington Post.

Per Manley's daughter, Dalis, the 62-year-old began receiving oxygen because of breathing issues two weeks after testing positive.

Manley, a two-time Super Bowl champion, was named a First Team All-Pro for the 1986 NFL season. He had 18.5 sacks en route to leading the 'Skins to the NFC Championship Game.

Manley's 91 sacks with the 'Skins place him atop the franchise's all-time sack list.
