Cowboys Eying Thursday Return For McCarthy
FRISCO, Texas – Mike McCarthy can't return to the facility just yet, but the Cowboys are optimistic their head coach will be back in the building by the end of the week.
"We just think it's normally just like it is with players, we're looking at the 10 days," said team chief operating officer Stephen Jones on Monday morning. "Probably looking at getting him back on a Thursday. Don't think it'll usually be before, it rarely is."
It's a bit jarring to think that it's only been a week since McCarthy tested positive for COVID-19. The news came as the Cowboys were already well into their preparation for the Thursday night game in New Orleans, coming off a dramatic overtime loss on Thanksgiving.
With all the twists and turns of a wild November, that feels like a lifetime ago. But it is true that McCarthy still has a few more days of testing to clear the NFL's protocols for return.
