FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are still losing ground in a COVID-19 outbreak that was discovered just 90 minutes before their most recent preseason game. Coach Mike McCarthy isn’t sure how to assess the meaning two weeks before the Sept. 9 opener at Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay. Two projected starters in left guard Connor Williams and safety Damontae Kazee have been added to the COVID-19 list. Undrafted rookie safety Israel Mukuamu has returned. The others sidelined are receiver CeeDee Lamb, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins and safety Malik Hooker along with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
