Cam Newton tests positive for coronavirus

Cam Newton tests positive for coronavirus

The National Football League regular season has had to be rescheduled due to coronavirus. Over the last week, 20 Tennessee Titans tested positive, and recently it was announced that one player each from the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots also have the disease.

The names of the Titans have not been announced yet, but we do now know the names of the players on the Chiefs and Patriots according to Theresa M. Walker of the Associated Press. The Chiefs player is practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu of Pearl City, Hawaii. Meanwhile, the Patriots player is the number one quarterback, Cam Newton of College Park, Georgia.

The loss of Newton for the Patriots is obviously significant. So far, the 31-year-old veteran who is in his first year in New England after nine seasons in Carolina, has completed 62 of 91 passes for 714 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. On the ground, Newton also has 35 rushes for 149 yards and four touchdowns. The Patriots have also won two of their first three games to start the season.



 

With the positive test among the Patriots and the Chiefs, one would expected that the rest of the Patriots and Chiefs would have to self isolate for 14 days. That might have happen if the NFL played its games in Canada or Australia. However, the rules in the United States are not as strict as many parts of the world, and that is why the Patriots and Chiefs are proceeding on Monday night two hours before the Green Bay Packers play the Atlanta Falcons.

As for the Titans, they were supposed to play the Pittsburgh Steelers this past weekend. They will now play against each other on October 25. The Steelers were to play the Baltimore Ravens in a AFC North Division battle on that day, but that game has now been rescheduled to November 1.
