Urban Meyer Reveals He Tested Positive For COVID-19, Has Since Recovered

Urban Meyer beat COVID-19.

The former Buckeye head coach revealed on Wednesday that he tested positive for the virus last week, but was free of major symptoms and has since recovered and will return to work this week.

All five members on-air members of Fox's Big Noon Kickoff pregame show crew – Meyer, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Brady Quinn and Rob Stone – were pulled from the air last week due to COVID-19 protocols and what Fox called an "abundance of caution."

Fox did not reveal if any members of the crew had tested positive, but Meyer told 10TV on Wednesday that his positive test was the reason the crew was pulled from the show last week.
