Cam Newton is going on Day 5 of his stint on the NFL’s COVID-19/reserve list.
The New England Patriots quarterback missed Monday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and his status for Week 5 against the Denver Broncos is unclear. The Patriots didn’t provide an update on Newton on Wednesday.
But he delivered a message of his own in a Twitter post urging followers to maintain COVID-19 safety protocols.
Notice the absence of Cam font there. He means business.
Newton’s message arrives as the NFL is in the grips of a simmering COVID-19 crisis, with his teammate Stephon Gilmore announcing Wednesday that he tested positive and an outbreak and reported breaks in protocol among the Tennessee Titans threatening their game for a second straight week.
