The Dallas Cowboys are on Corona alert. In addition to head coach Mike McCarthy, who has been infected with the virus, eight other positive tests have reportedly been detected at the NFC East leader. The Cowboys’ next game is already scheduled for Thursday.

Munich – The NFL has not yet had to postpone a game this season due to the current Corona situation.

Now, however, the Dallas Cowboys are facing their first chaos before their game on Thursday against the New Orleans Saints. As “ESPN” reports, head coach Mike McCarthy tested positive for the virus on Monday and is certain to be out for the “Thursday Night Game”.

According to the report, eight other people around the team have been infected in addition to McCarthy. It is not yet clear if they are players or other members of the training staff.

Due to the short time span until the next game, it can also be assumed that the affected persons will be missing in the game against the Saints.
