FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The NFL shut down the New England Patriots' facility Sunday morning for the third time in 10 days, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates, putting the status of Monday's home game against the Denver Broncos in question.

The Patriots had one new positive test for the coronavirus Sunday morning, a source told Schefter, and their building is now shut down while further testing is conducted.

The NFL still plans to play the Broncos-Patriots game Monday, a source told ESPN.

The Patriots had reopened their facility and held a practice Saturday after having been closed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
