Police did not confirm reports that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott ignored social distancing mandates to host a party Friday night.

"The Prosper Police Department did respond to the Prescott residence after receiving a report of a potential 'party,'" assistant chief Scott M. Brewer said, according to Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "The officer was unable to verify the report of a 'party.' Therefore, he just reminded the resident of the current CDC guidelines - to include social distancing."

It was reported Saturday that Prescott had at least 30 guests at his house the night prior, including Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on March 31 that requires every person in the state to "minimize social gatherings and minimize in-person contact with people who are not in the same household."

Two weeks earlier, President Donald Trump suggested Americans should limit group gatherings to 10 people.
