DALLAS (105.3 the Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants are set to face off in a Week 17 matchup, that could very well decide the winner of the NFC East.
However, that contest may now be in jeopardy, with both franchises facing issues due to COVID-19 just days ahead of the game.
On Friday, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy informed the media that all meetings would be held virtually as the team follows contact tracing protocols.
“All the virtual meetings are occurring with the coaches and players, and we’ll back to, I guess, what you would call a standard Saturday schedule in the morning,” coach Mike McCarthy said.
According to various reports, these precautions are being implemented due to an unnamed Cowboys player testing positive for COVID-19.
Earlier in the day, the Giants also announced a positive test for offensive line Dave DeGuglielmo, who was hired in November to replace the recently fired Marc Columbo.
As it stands, Sunday's matchup is not yet in danger of being delayed, and barring a set back, Dallas is expected to reopen their practice facility on Saturday.
