FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys swapped linebackers in and out of the COVID-19 protocol on Wednesday morning.
It was announced just prior to practice that Micah Parsons has been added to the COVID protocol, making him unavailable for the time being. At the same time, Keanu Neal was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list after missing last week.
Here are some more notes from Wednesday's practice:
- The Cowboys practiced on the outdoor practice fields at The Star, wearing shorts, helmets and shells.
- The entire roster and practice squad was present at practice, with the exception of Parsons.
