Twitter: Keanu Neal out Monday Night

[Maxmadden]

Whatever protocols the team have in place are clearly not working. This is ridiculous

They aren't catching it at work. They get it outside at some club or family member and bring it back to work.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Better they get it now, then get it in the Playoffs or late season. Silver lining I guess.

 

[Maxmadden]

Bummer. I bet Jones is wishing he had pushed the, uh, precautions a bit harder.

I think Jerry has pushed harder than most but you can't control people after they punch the timeclock.

 

[G2]

Good thing that this BS rule isn't a drinking game.

 

[Carson]

Anybody waiting to see Ertz get cleared in time?

 

[Runwildboys]

Nothing stops the NFL money train this year. Why they will force teams to forfeit games if they can't field a full team on Sunday.

Fine, I'll play, okay?

Doesn't necessarily work that way, unfortunately.

Go LVE, Parsons and Cox. Mix Jaylon in when we need someone to run downhill without changing direction.

Who’s going to play LDE on rushing downs if Parsons is at LB?

 

[CowboyoWales]

Next man up. No excuses.

Good luck Messrs Gifford n Cox

Go Cowboys!

Unlike last year you'd think Cox and Gifford would love the chance to get on the field with a defense that's no longer a walk over.....this is what they came for.

Gregory and Golston

This is getting crazy , how the heck any team can put so many players on the side , the roster size should be 90.

 

[Beaker42]

This close contact thing is nonsense. Test him.

This all but assures a heavy dose of Jaylon.

Hopefully Cox

 

[Jipper]

Since he's missing two games and that's costing us 500k, I'm cutting him. He refuses to do what he needs to in order to be available. Gone.

Honestly that's not a fair assessment, you have zero clue how he picked it up...

These guys are human beings and have to do basic things to live their lives, even with absolute precautions its not 100 percent avoidable.

I'd say give the guy the benefit of the doubt

 

[G2]

My thoughts as well. It's bad enough this has been an every week ridiculous loss roster-wise, but just think how bad this has the potential to be. I mean we don't even have to step into conspiracy theories to realistically imagine an irreplaceable player or two missing time at the absolute worst time.

 

[xwalker]

Cox's strength is coverage. Neal's role involves little coverage because he's not great at it.

Neal is good in coverage relative to other LBs.

He was questionable in coverage as a Safety.

 

[Adreme]

Wow!!! We are getting hit hard with this. So are the Ravens……

If only the Cowboys got to play the Lions this week...

Not a surprise that poster thinks that way, though.

 

[baltcowboy]

I live about 1/2 hour away from Balt. I think the Ravens lost 4 players on the defensive front 7.

They do play the Lions though. QB Jackson missed a practice with sickness or back/hip.

If the Lions can stop the run it might be a close game.

Yeah, I am from Baltimore. It is vertical suspicious that Lamar had a illness and missed practice. I think the Ravens are going to have some issues with the Lions.

We will see Cox get some playing time.

They have only lost one or two players a week.
