This time of year tends to be the home stretch for players who are trying to enjoy some additional days with their families before the start of football. Instead, this year may see the coronavirus cause them to cut that short.
After Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced travel restrictions on out-of-state travelers to curb the spread of the virus, there’s a strong possibility many Patriots players will need to return to the state ahead of schedule.
As of July 1st, any travelers arriving into Massachusetts are instructed to self quarantine for 14 days. That restriction excludes travelers from Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Vermont, along with New York and New Jersey.
