PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Doug Pederson says he feels great and has no symptoms after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Pederson is quarantining at home away from family members and plans to run the team virtually while assistant head coach Duce Staley handles leadership duties during training camp.

Pederson didn’t want to comment on how he contracted the virus but is comfortable with the safety measures at the team's practice facility.

Pederson also remains confident the NFL will play this season.

The league canceled the exhibition schedule and players are going through intense testing.
