Good And Bad News With Latest Status Check on Cam Newton

The status of Cam Newton is still up in the air. The New England Patriots are still struggling to get back on track after the team came down with positive tests of COVID-19. Cam Newton was the first person to test positive. This caused last weeks game to be postponed by a day. This week’s game has also been postponed.

Head coach Bill Belichick recently talked about what the team is doing to get back on track. They are taking this day by day.

“Today’s an important day in our preparation for the Broncos,” Belichick said. “We’ve had several days now of virtual meetings between the staff members and from the staff to the players. We’ve been able to cover a lot of things, but we haven’t spent any time together, so today’s our opportunity to do that. We look forward to that. One thing that we’ve learned this year repeatedly has been we have to be ready to adjust and adapt to changes and modifications and the way we do things and, in some cases, decisions that really come down to a very short amount of time that we have to be ready to adjust to.”

“So we’re certainly taking things day by day — probably hour by hour would be more accurate. We’ll just see how we progress and then as we find out more on our end, or if there are other things externally that we can’t control that, then we’ll deal with those as they come. That’s the way it’s been all year. I think our team and our players have done a good job of handling those adjustments, and we’ll continue to do that.”
