Redskins Great Dexter Manley 'Doing Much Better' After COVID-19 Diagnosis

Former Washington Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley is "doing much better" following his COVID-19 diagnosis, per ex-teammate John Riggins on his Riggo The Diesel podcast Tuesday.

"He is doing much better," Riggins said (h/t 'Skins staff writer Kyle Stackpole). "I'm not sure he was ever really that ill, but his oxygen levels were a little low, they put him on oxygen, he has never been on a ventilator. All of this stuff is improving as we speak. He's still got a little ways to go."

Per Stackpole, Riggins received the news firsthand from Manley's wife, Lydia.
