Elliott’s agent Rocky Arceneaux confirmed the positive test. He also said that Elliott was “feeling good.”
It was recently reported that 21 states, including Texas, were dealing with an outbreak of new cases. In Elliott’s case, it does not appear like he got the virus at the team’s training facility.
The NFL shut down the team offices due to the virus. Only injured players were allowed recently to go to the team facilities outside of coaches.
“Due to federal and local privacy laws, we are unable to provide information regarding the personal health of any of our employees,” Cowboys said in a statement. “We are following all CDC, local, and NFL guidelines to keep our facilities safe, including limiting employee access.”

Will this happen in person? We don’t know. But right now, the teams have been gathering through Zoom communications with many lockdowns throughout the country.
