Both ballclubs are dealing with some recent COVID issues that could impact the outcome of this crucial divisional matchup.
Dave DeGuglielmo, the Giants offensive line coach who replaced Marc Colombo in mid-November, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the team announced on Friday. There were two additional potential close contacts to DeGuglielmo, but while the Giants’ facility will remain open, they’ll be without their O-line coach when the Cowboys stroll into MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Not long after that news arrived did the Cowboys themselves announce they’d be operating virtually on Friday, per head coach Mike McCarthy, and it’s been discovered the reason for the change isn’t New Year’s Day, but instead due to a player having tested positive for COVID-19 — a source confirmed to CBS Sports.
