Cam tests positive for Covid, out for Chiefs game tomorrow

There’s also talk that the game may get rescheduled for Monday depending on the test results of other Pats players and coaches.

I had no idea, thanks for the info. I hope he'll be ok and recovers.

We all knew it was going to be a crazy NFL season because of this damn corona virus.

And who knows, it may even get crazier. But at least for now they're playing.

Now the Pats and Hoodie lovers will really have a good excuse as to why the Chiefs destroyed them. I do hope Cam recovers well though, my buddy has it and he had a mild cold for 24 hours now he is fine but bored out of his mind for his 2 week quarantine 🤷‍♂️

That's what I was looking forward to after a long week and 5 hours on Saturday worth of work,
having the Chiefs game postponed!
Guess I'll go pound my head against a brick building.
Only 52 more hours of work before the next game which will probably be postponed!

Sorry,the Chiefs might need another day of practice anyways before BB unleashes Hoyer the Destroyer on them.

i heard a chief tested positive also? Cam Newton's evil twin! Or is he just really good at mimicking Cam ?

I guess it’s one more test to see if Belichick can work miracles. He’s done it the past with back-up quarterbacks.

I figured that Pats would lose this game anyway. It’s what happens beyond this one that matters.

I remember way back when the 49’ers we’re coming to town and Scott Zolak Beat them 24-21. The ‘49’ers were stacked and the Pats were like 17 point underdogs or something crazy.. anything can happen in the NFL. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199812200nwe.htm

And now Zo is a rock star here in NE after that one performance lol.

I'm really doubtful the Chiefs-Pats will play Monday night like is tentatively planned.
