Four of 26 Ohio State athletes with COVID-19 had "findings suggestive" of myocarditis (and another 8 had evidence of prior myocarditis), though I still wonder how clinically significant it is.

The article does state: "Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging evidence of myocardial inflammation has been associated with poor outcomes, including myocardial dysfunction and mortality." But this was a very different patient population (not even one with COVID-19), so it is hard to know how much it will translate to athletes who get COVID-19 associated myocarditis.
