2 with Cowboys in virus protocol

ARLINGTON — Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and defensive tackle Carlos Watkins were sent home because of COVID-19 protocols before a preseason game against the Texans on Saturday night.

The club said in a statement that Quinn and Watkins would be evaluated again by the medical staff Sunday.

While announcing the absences, the Cowboys said 93 percent of their players were vaccinated along with every member of the staff.

It’s the first virus-related development for Dallas since reporting to training camp in California last month. The Cowboys moved camp to their practice facility this past week.
