Fantasy Impact:
The Patriots released a statement saying that Newton traveled to a club-approved medical appointment that required him to leave New England this weekend. However, there was apparently a "misunderstanding" about the COVID-19 testing protocols. Newton now needs to wait five days before he can re-enter team facilities. It's a brutal blow as practice time is precious right now. This likely won't cost him the starting job, but it's a gut punch nonetheless. Stay tuned as this story develops in the coming days.
