New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton will be back with the team today after healing from COVID-19. Newton had not been with the team since testing positive on October 3rd. Newton will have a chance to start on Sunday when the 2-and-2 Patriots host the 1-and-3 Denver Broncos.
The NFL will not have a Pro Bowl this season. The annual event that takes place the week before the Super Bowl will not see the league’s best compete amid the ongoing coronavirus. The game has been canceled but the NFL will still name Pro Bowl teams and those individuals will compete in ‘virtual activities.’
The game was originally slated to be played in Las Vegas, but the city will instead host the season after the 2021 season.
