Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: WR Amari Cooper's COVID-19 situation a 'classic case of how it can impact a team'

Amari Cooper is among a host of Dallas Cowboys players in line to miss the team's Week 12 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Cooper tested positive for COVID-19 leading up to Dallas' Week 11 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and because he is unvaccinated, he will not be able to clear the NFL's protocols by Thursday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke on the issue on Tuesday morning.

On @1053thefan, Jerry Jones added some silver living to WR Amari Cooper’s situation, which will sideline him for second game Thursday vs. Raiders. Jones: It’s unlikely Cooper to contract COVID-19 again this season. Also, “we’re getting a two-week rest” on his hamstring injury.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper was asymptomatic when testing positive last week for COVID-19, team owner Jerry Jones said on @1053thefan. His point is Cooper wouldn’t have been tested before Sunday’s game vs. Chiefs if fully vaccinated.
