Practice report: Letang feeling 'really good,' could return Thursday

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Kris Letang said that he had "pretty much all the symptoms" during his experience with COVID-19.

"Congestion, headaches, pressure in the forehead, coughing, lost taste and smell, body aches, a lot of pain in the lower back and stuff like that," he said. "That lasted I would say between four and five days, and after that I was just getting better and better every day."

Letang was removed from the COVID protocol on Monday, shortly after clearing a final cardiac exam. He skated on his own that day, and then again on Tuesday while the rest of the team had a scheduled day off.
