CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The highly anticipated matchup with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots has been postponed after players on both teams tested positive for COVID-19.
According to ESPN, the game will be played this week on Monday so long as no other players test positive.
However, the one-day delay won’t help Newton return to the field, he’s now sidelined for a minimum of 10 days. The Patriots said that several additional players, coaches and staff who were in close contact with Newton have tested negative.
There is still immense doubt surrounding Sunday’s entire slate of football games with one game between the Titans and Steelers already postponed to a later bye week.
