Dez Bryant announced shortly before kickoff on Tuesday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
The positive test result arrived after Bryant participated in pregame warmups. The game between Bryant’s Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys carried on, leaving many to wonder why the NFL allowed it amid the potential coronavirus exposure.
The league made the decision after determining that Bryant didn’t have any high-risk contacts ahead of the game. Bryant was seen before the game hugging and talking with members of the Cowboys, his former team.
