The Dallas Cowboys asked players families a huge sacrifice

According to Todd Archer, Espn staff writer, the Dallas Cowboys will not allowed players to see their families for the holidays. The organization is trying to protect their players from COVID exposure. 

"They got to stay home this year. We got to make that sacrifice again. That's what we came to at the decision as the NFL and also as a team, the Dallas Cowboys. We just got to do whatever it takes to make sure we give ourselves the best opportunity to win."
-DeMarcus Lawrence

Cowboys are already taking precautions by doing virtual meetings and changed the facilities so large groups are not all at the same place. Booster shot is now available for all the players and staff. 

"We're trying to do everything we can to lower the risk and keep our guys safe."
-coach Mike McCarthy

Dallas have currently only one player under COVID protocol, Trysten Hill, and 2 coaches, defensive line coach Aden Durde and assistant special teams coach Matt Daniels.

With a record of 10-4, Dallas can still win the NFC East title and secure homefield advantage. This is why they really need everybody healthy for every upcoming games. 

"It's as high as it's ever been with the meat of schedule coming to a point and we need everyone here. We need to start getting this thing back moving, how we had it early in the season. We are going to need every back to do that."
-Ezekiel Elliott
