The NFL world was delivered some news earlier this week that multiple members of the Texans and Cowboys have tested positive for Coronavirus, among them was Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott.

#Cowboys star RB Ezekiel Elliott is one of the players who has tested positive for the Coronavirus, his agent Rocky Arceneaux confirmed to me. Arceneaux said Elliott is feeling good.

While it may have been a little surprising it shouldn't be wholly unexpected. 

Bleacher Report NFL Columnist Tyler Dunne joined John and Hugh and explained how the NFL League Office never pretended that players would avoid the disease for any real length of time.

"There has to be some concern, but I wouldn't call it a worst possible nightmare," says Dunne. "I don't think anybody in the NFL would think they would have a season and nobody would get the virus, that's a utopian fairytale."
