Just days after Dallas defensive coordinator and defensive tackle Carlos Watkins were placed in the COVID-19 protocol and missed Saturday’s preseason game, the Cowboys have added three more names to the protocol. Mike Fisher, who covers the Cowboys, tweeted out the news Monday from his @fishsports Twitter account. Dallas travels to Tampa Bay to play the defending Super Bowl champion Bucs on Thursday, September 9 to kick off the 2021 NFL regular season.

Lamb is the Cowboys’ star receiver, while Hooker and Mukuamu are reserve safeties. For precautionary reasons the Cowboys have held practices virtually on Sunday and Monday, according to Fisher. Dallas plans to resume practicing at their facility on Tuesday.

Meanwhile at the AdventHealth Training Center in Tampa, the Bucs don’t have any COVID-19 issues at this time, according to head coach Bruce Arians.

There was some concern that with Arians and quarterback Tom Brady being close to Titans head coach Mike Vrabel during Saturday’s night’s pre-game that they or other members of the Bucs might have been infected with COVID-19. Vrabel, who is fully vaccinated, tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday after waking up with a sore throat following the Titans’ 34-3 win over the Bucs.
