The New England Patriots canceled practices for Wednesday and Thursday amid reports that a third player has tested positive for the coronavirus. The Patriots did not give a reason for the cancellations and didn't immediately respond when asked if it was in response to a third positive test. Newton's positive test prompted the NFL to postpone New England’s game with the Chiefs by a day. Patriots players had the day off Tuesday, meaning that Friday could be their only practice this week if the game proceeds as planned. If a player tests positive but is asymptomatic, he must either wait 10 days from the initial positive test, or can return after having two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart.
