It sounds like the Denver Broncos won’t have to face Patriots QB Cam Newton.
Anytime you can have an advantage in sports, it’s a beautiful thing. The Denver Broncos could have one on Sunday against the New England Patriots because quarterback Cam Newton was diagnosed with COVID-19.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the thinking is that Newton is unlikely to play, however, there is still a possibility that he can.
