Throughout Bill Belichick's tenure with the Patriots, there were several years where a player was seemingly cut from the team before it was made official. It was often referred to as the "Foxboro flu" when it would happen before the season began, but it is something that has seemingly become a thing of the past, until now.
The possibility of the infamous illness potentially returning to the team has become a topic of discussion with the release of Friday's injury report, which already revealed two players will be out for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The continued absence of cornerback Christian Gonzalez was unfortunately expected, but the same status for Keion White was not, despite reportedly dealing with an illness that kept him away from practice all week.
