New England Patriots head coach said Thursday the organization will continue to prioritize health over football after quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list over the past week.
Belichick told reporters "it's the health and safety of the team first and football second."
"There's nothing more important than the health of the team," he said. "Without a healthy team, you don't have a team. That's priority No. 1, and I'd say not only to our team but to their families and people that are close to them.
