Several Cowboys Coaches Including Head Coach Mike McCarthy Have Entered the COVID-19 Protocol

Things just got a little more difficult for the Dallas Cowboys.  After losing three out of their last four games their coaching staff has been hit with COVID-19.  Several coaches, including head coach Mike McCarthy have entered the league's COVID-19 protocol.

McCarthy, who tested positive, and the rest of the coaches in the protocol will miss Thursday night's game against the Saints.  Dan Quinn is expected to assume head coaching duties.

That's the bad news.  The good news is the Cowboys are playing the Saints and the Saints are a mess right now.  Dallas needs a win in the worst way if people are expected to take them serious.
