The Cowboys have canceled practice today due to a medical emergency unrelated to the pandemic.

“The schedule change is due to a non-Covid related medical emergency involving a staff member,” the team said in a statement. “There will not be a press briefing with Coach McCarthy at 10:30 a.m. [CT] and there will be no player media availability today.”

Rumors are rampant regarding the staff member and the specific medical emergency. Out of respect to the team, the individual, and his family, we’ll wait for official confirmation before reporting anything.

The Cowboys will play Washington on Thanksgiving.

  3. For them to cancel all of practice for one person, one would think that person is pretty important.

  4. Even though I do not like the Cowboys, I wish the specific individual, “Good luck and good health.”

    It must be pretty embarrassing for it not to be reported.

    Or maybe the medical emergency is such that family needs to be notified and the team doesn’t want them learning this through the media?

    Why would you jump to the thought that the incident is ’embarrassing’?

  7. This makes no sense. One person and you shut down operations with a game in two days?????? Something up!

  9. There seems to be confirmation that is was someone involved in the strength and conditioning dept. I won’t post his name but it seems legit.

  10. Yes, this is truly unusual.
    I’m speculating that someone on the staff may have died.
    Or someone pretty important in the org (Owner, HC, AHC, Main coordinator had a very severe medical emergency, like a stroke or heart attack and was taken to the hospital in a critical condition.

    Simply can’t comprehend what else might dictate such an action or secrecy.

  12. Local reports are indicating that something happened to one of the strength and conditioning coaches. Additional details are currently being withheld out of respect for the family.

  18. He is not dead (at least not yet). Do a little research before you go posting “RIP” everywhere.

    it was posted everywhere that he passed away, just because you posted your comment after we found out that he is still alive (thank God for that), doesn’t make you any better Joe reporter.
