Considered high-risk contact Neal (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday as a high-risk contact, not because he tested positive, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neal could thus be eligible to return to team facilities in time for Monday night's divisional matchup against the Eagles, as long as he continues to return negative test results. The starting linebacker handled 77 defensive snaps in each of the Cowboys' first two games, and he has nine stops (six solo) and one tackle for a loss on the season.

Placed on COVID list The Cowboys placed Neal (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Neal's status for Monday night's divisional matchup against the Eagles is thus looking iffy, as he won't be eligible to play or attend team facilities until he fully clears the league's COVID protocols. Through the first two weeks of the season, while operating primarily as a linebacker for the first time in his career, Neal has racked up a total of nine tackles (six solo).

Adjusting well to 'new' position Neal has looked good at linebacker to begin training camp, but defensive coordinator Dan Quinn suggested Friday the switch from safety wasn't actually a big adjustment for the 26-y...

Impact The two were together in Atlanta, and Quinn noted he'd already moved Neal around a lot when he was his head coach. "He's played a number of the positions when he was in Atlanta," Quinn explained. "We just tricked him and didn't call him a linebacker. We said, 'You're a safety.' I never told him he was a linebacker, but he was a linebacker on 70 percent of the snaps." Neal reached triple-digit tackles in all three seasons for the Falcons in which he was mostly healthy, including 100 in 15 games last year, so the change in designation on the depth chart may not have as big an impact on his IDP production as would typically be expected.
