Here’s another one for the “not sure whether to laugh or cry” file:
Several #Cowboys players & several #Texans players have tested positive for COVID-19 recently, sources tell me & @TomPelissero. None of the players are believed to have been in their team facilities. The teams followed proper health protocols.

#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.

Pro Football Talk says it was two Cowboys and two Texans who tested positive, including a Houston player who attended George Floyd’s funeral last week.
Texas as a state has been a lot more lax than others when it comes to COVID guidelines, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see elevated numbers there. Hopefully these guys are alright, and hopefully the god damn Cowboys don’t jeopardize the NFL’s return, as if we need another reason to dislike that pitiful excuse of a football franchise.
