Cam Newton will not be available to New England Patriots for five days. The reason for this is a misunderstanding of Covid 19 test protocols, as the team announced on Monday.
The quarterback of the Patriot had traveled to a team approved medical treatment outside the New England region and ultimately violated the guidelines for Covid-19 tests.
As the team announced, Newton was negatively tested daily, but the rules show that players who are not vaccinated must be tested daily in NFL facilities.
He went to Covid daily and was always negative. Due to a misunderstanding regarding tests performed outside NFL facilities and because it requires the protocols of the NFL and NFLPA, Cam is now the five-day inlet clock becomes Go through before he is allowed to go back to the team premises . It is said in the statement of the Patriots.
According to NFL NFLPA protocols, all employees of levels 1 and 2, so players, coaches and team administrators, are excluded from daily tests and may also travel when they are vaccinated.
Newton will participate in virtual teammeetings in the meantime, but do not train on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday, the joint training begins with the New York Giants, the opponent in the final preseason game next weekend.
