Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy returning to work after 10-day COVID-19 protocols

FRISCO, Texas - Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, who tested positive for COVID-19, will be back to work Thursday as his team continues preparation for Sunday's big NFC East game against the Washington Football Team at FedEx Field.

"The protocol experience has been an education to say the least, but I feel great. I'm ready to go," McCarthy said. "Frankly, I think it's more of a technicality with the testing process that's keeping me out the full 10 days. So my arrival will be first thing in the morning. Actually I think I might go at midnight, 12:01 tonight.
