The Dallas Cowboys were among the teams that were able to re-open their team facilities on Tuesday, allowing Jerry Jones to return to his office. While it's a step forward in returning to normalcy, Jones reacted to returning to his office.
“This is a big day for clubs all over the NFL and for our league as a whole, a big day for sports in general, a day for building confidence,” Jones said, via ProFootballTalk. “It’s great to be back in the office this morning. I thought there was no better place for me to participate in our virtual League meeting today than right here at my desk at The Star.”
Since back in March, the NFL had to inform teams to shutdown their team facilities due to the coronavirus pandemic. But this past week, the league sent out a memo to all 32 teams, laying out the guidelines for each team to re-open their facilities.
The most important aspect of the memo was that teams must abide by their local and state government's guidelines before returning. It was reported that the Cowboys, along with 21 other teams, were able to re-open their facilities on May 19.
As Jones pointed out, this is some positive progress for the NFL in their efforts to return to normal as soon as possible. In addition, it's a step in the right direction for all sports as they hope to pick back up in the coming months. While the Cowboys still held a virtual team meeting on Tuesday, Jones got to do so from the office at Dallas' team facility.
