The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for the upcoming NFL season along with every other team throughout the league, but the Cowboys seem to have hit a little bit of a weather-related snag this week.
According to a report from Mike Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Cowboys were forced to cancel their in-person team activities as a result of a wind storm that has left much of the state without power, including their practice facility.
“Cowboys canceled in-person team activities today following a high-wind storm that ravaged parts of North Texas this morning. Like elsewhere in region, their facility in Frisco had no power for period of time. Second week of OTAs is scheduled to start Wednesday as planned,” Gehlken said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
This comes after storms swept through the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Tuesday morning morning leaving more than 500,000 people in the Dallas area without power.
As Gehlken reports, though, the team is expected to return to the practice field on Wednesday as they begin their second week of organized team activities. The team seems to be working under the assumption that the situation will be resolved by then.
The correspondent added his thanks to “my incredible colleagues and to the players, coaches and other NFL team members who trusted me with their unique insight when covering their games or breaking news. I’ve created some incredible lifelong memories.”
