Report: Cowboys Coach Mike McCarthy Tests Positive for COVID-19

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN's Diana Russini and Adam Schefter.

It is not known if McCarthy is asymptomatic or symptomatic following his positive test.

However, in July, he told reporters that he made a "conscious decision to get the vaccination."

He will miss Thursday night's game as a result of the positive COVID-19 test, per ESPN.

The report Monday comes as McCarthy said Sunday the Cowboys were going virtual with meetings ahead of Thursday's game with the Saints because of a rise in positive tests within the team.
