Ahead of Tuesday night's contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys, Dez Bryant was discovered to have tested positive for COVID-19. Seeing that he tested positive, his pre-game actions could be a cause for concern moving forward for the NFL.
Earlier this season, Bryant signed a practice-squad contract with the Ravens, only to sign a deal to join the 53-man roster. But before he made his return to the NFL with the Ravens, Bryant spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Cowboys from 2010-2017.
Provided that, Bryant spent pre-game warmups interacting with some of his former teammates and coaches on the Cowboys. However, with him being pulled from pre-game warmups after testing positive for COVID-19, Bryant could have put multiple people at risk.
We've already seen the Ravens have an outbreak in the locker room in recent weeks, with 20+ players and staff members testing positive. Lamar Jackson, who returned to the field on Tuesday, was one of the players who produced a positive test.
Despite Bryant's test results, the NFL deemed that the game could continue to be conducted. With that being said, there's plenty of reasons why it would have been wise to postpone the game again due to Bryant's interactions before the game.
It can take some time for people to show symptoms or produce positive test results after having interactions with someone who's contracted the coronavirus. In light of that, it will be worth monitoring whether or not the Ravens and Cowboys have positive cases pop up in the coming days.
