Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett describes brutal battle with COVID-19: 'I lost like 8 pounds'

Tyler Lockett is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but his bout with it earlier this month was harrowing.

Lockett, who spoke out on Thursday for the first time since he tested positive for the coronavirus on Dec. 16, said he was miserable.

“My throat was hurting. I had chills. My chest was hurting,” he said Thursday, via The Seattle Times. “I was very, very anxious. Like, my mind was just wandering ‘cause I was probably thinking too much. I was throwing up … and I just had no energy. I was barely eating.
