Saints coach Sean Payton says he's "feeling okay" about a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Payton called into Good Morning America to chat with Michael Strahan, saying he's "progressively got a little better each day."

Payton revealed last week that he'd tested positive after getting 'fatigued' with flu-like symptoms. He's the first NFL-connected person to be diagnosed with the virus.
