Cam Newton’s status for the Patriots’ matchup against the Broncos appears to be unknown.
The Patriots quarterback reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 2, forcing him to miss their game against the Chiefs.
In an interview with WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” on Monday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked if Newton would play on Sunday.
“Any player that would come back to the team off the COVID-IR list would have to go through a medical clearance, so that will be part of any player’s return to the team from that situation,” Belichick said.
