Another NFL investigation is reportedly coming to Foxboro.
According to Pro Football Talk, the league is swooping in quickly to make sure the Patriots followed all COVID-19 protocols after quarterback Cam Newton tested positive for the coronavirus.
Per a league source, the NFL promptly launched an investigation into whether the Patriots complied with all relevant protocols, after news of quarterback Cam Newton‘s positive test emerged.
There hadn’t even been (and still hasn’t been) a second positive in New England. Which makes it a bit strange, to say the least, that the NFL moved so quickly.
Florio points out that the NFL took "several" days to look into any issues following the Titans' recent outbreak.
After no positive tests for the Patriots came back Sunday they have been cleared to fly to Kansas City Monday for their game against the Chiefs.
