Cowboys' Tyrone Crawford Placed on Reserve/COVID-19 List

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford has been moved to the league's reserve/COVID-19 list, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. 

The designation does not necessarily mean that Crawford has tested positive, as the list also includes players who have been identified as close contacts of someone who has returned a positive test. 

The Cowboys hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and after defeating Dallas 24-19, the team announced Monday a player had tested positive and subsequently moved five players to the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Steelers tight end Vance McDonald was placed on the reserve list on Monday, and four other players—quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, offensive lineman Jerald Hawkins, running back Jaylen Samuels and linebacker Vince Williams—were added to the list on Tuesday. 

McDonald did not practice on Friday because of illness but made the trip to Dallas, where he played 20 snaps for the Steelers, per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. 

The Athletic's Jon Machota reported that Dallas canceled a scheduled practice for Wednesday following the Steelers' positive test, and the team announced it will not practice at all this week and will meet virtually during its bye week. Machota added that Andy Dalton remains the team's only player on the COVID-19 list, having moved there Nov. 3. 

Rapoport noted that Kansas City Chiefs running back Mecole Hardman was also moved to the COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday.
