KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Amari Cooper will not play against the Raiders, his former team, because he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and as an unvaccinated player cannot return until Nov.
“I didn’t necessarily know what was going on, but that is the nature of this.
While Cooper’s absence impacted the Cowboys’ offense Sunday, the timing of him landing on the COVID list 48 hours before kickoff was not that big of a deal, according to McCarthy.
“That’s my teammate, that’s my brother, we’re going to support him,” Prescott said of Cooper.
“I’m ready whenever those guys can’t go,” said Wilson, who had two drops Sunday.
The Cowboys entered Sunday with the NFL’s top-ranked offense in terms of yards and points per game, but Sunday marked the first game started by Prescott where the Cowboys have not scored a touchdown since Dec.
We had a great opportunity to come out and play against a team that has been in the Super Bowl the last couple of years and prove it to ourselves, prove it to one another what we are capable of.
