The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been a massive concern when it comes to sports trying to start up. Now comes a report several Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans players have tested positive for COVID-19.
Teams can’t reveal the names of players who have tested positive due to HIPAA and the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act. But the agent for Dallas star Ezekiel Elliott told NFL.com Insider Ian Rapoport the running back is one of the players.
However, Elliott was not happy about word getting out, as he sent out a message on social media stating: “HIPAA ??” and he later added that his agent only confirmed it because someone else already leaked that he had contracted it.

Elliott was criticized earlier this offseason for not using social distancing. A video surfaced of a party which included Elliott and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in attendance.
Previously, Denver Broncos defensive star Von Miller tested positive for COVID-19 as did Los Angeles Rams center Brian Allen in April. Now that it’s mid-June, these contractions certainly stir up a bit more interest since the NFL’s regular season is inching closer, as is training camps in late July.
