Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott needed only one word to describe his reaction to reports that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that several players from the Cowboys and Houston Texans had contracted the coronavirus, although it was unknown as to who the players were.

Shortly after, Rapoport tweeted that Elliott was one of them, with confirmation reportedly coming from his agent Rocky Arceneaux.

That led to Elliott taking to Twitter to offer his response to the situation, and he did so in a rather succinct fashion.

Obviously, Elliott is referring to HIPAA laws, which protect a patient's health information from being disclosed without their consent or knowledge.

Elliott followed up his initial tweet by claiming that Arceneaux wasn't the one that broke the story to the media.

Considering that no other players have been named, it would make sense why Elliott may not be thrilled with being the only one mentioned.

With players and staff returning to the team facilities, the NFL was expecting to have positive cases emerge. Of course, since that was the expectation, the focus is also on figuring out ways to identify cases quickly in order to prevent the spread to other players and staff.

The league continues to look at different ways for achieving those goals, and it will undoubtedly play a role in whether or not the regular season starts on time in several months.

As for Elliott and the Cowboys, they are set to square off with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 6 before getting ready to open the regular season on Sept. 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
