The eagle has landed.
New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton arrived in Boston last week ahead of training camp with his new team. On Friday, Newton finally made it to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, according to the excitable tweet he sent that morning.
Newton's mere presence at the Patriots' facility is a good sign, as it likely means his COVID-19 tests to date have come back negative. Under the NFL's safety protocol system, all players must take three COVID-19 tests within a four-day period from Tuesday to Friday before they're even allowed in the building.
