FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys have been successful in avoiding the virus in 2020. Since the start of the season, only four players on the roster have been placed on the COVID list. On Friday, both safety Darian Thompson and defensive tackle Justin Hamilton were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
As a result, the team went into intensive protocols on Friday with virtual meetings to try and reduce a potential spread of the virus. Only coaches reported to the Star while players were asked to stay home and practice was cancelled.
The Cowboys announced on Saturday that three assistant coaches did not make the trip to New Jersey ahead of week 17’s matchup against the Giants in adherence of league protocols: assistant head coach Rob Davis, assistant special teams coach Matt Daniels, and offensive assistant Scott Tolzien. Other members of the coaching staff will handle their game day responsibilities.
