The former South Carolina football player is the second high-profile Patriot to test positive.
Late last week, the New England Patriots received word that starting quarterback Cam Newton had tested positive for the Coronavirus ahead of their Sunday matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. The team was still able to play, though the game was postponed until Monday. Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham struggled in relief of the star signal caller, as the Patriots lost 26-10.
This morning, the organization learned that another star player has tested positive for the virus.
