A short week of practice became shorter Tuesday when the Dallas Cowboys announced they had to cancel practice and Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s availability due to a staff emergency.
Dallas is scheduled to play the Washington Football Team on Thanksgiving.
The staffer’s identity is not being reported at this time out of respect for the matter’s sensitivity and potential gravity. The club issued a news release Tuesday in which it announced the cancellation, adding that the medical reason is unrelated to COVID-19.
The team said the emergency is non-COVID-19 related.
