Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant surprisingly announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19 just 30 minutes before his much-anticipated reunion with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday night.
“Tell me why they pull me from warming up so I can go get tested,” Bryant posted on Twitter. “… I tested positive for Covid.
“The crazy thing is i have the same damn routine. … this s— do not make sense to me.”
Soon, Twitter users found a deleted post that showed Dez had been hugging multiple players and coaches from the Cowboys before the game.
The NFL would soon release a statement on why they did not cancel this game.
“Standard protocol is to examine the device of the infected person for duration of time and proximity. Other factors include whether the interaction was indoors or outdoors. It was determined that there were no high-risk close contacts.”

He becomes the first Ravens player to test positive in a week.
