The NFL insisted Wednesday that it did not cut any corners with contact tracing after Dez Bryant tested positive for the coronavirus a half hour before kickoff against the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday.

Bryant was on the field participating in individual warm-ups about an hour before the Baltimore Ravens were notified of his inconclusive test result. The NFL did not identify any high-risk close contacts after interviewing Bryant as well as other club personnel and reviewing data from his contact-proximity tracker.

"I can tell you with complete certainty that our same exact contact-tracing process was followed last night as what we do in every single case," said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's chief medical officer. "The fact that we were able to do it fairly quickly is not reflective of a lack of thoroughness in the process. It's just simply the amount of data that was available to be sorted through allowed us to do that."
