Cam Newton Out Sunday, Placed On COVID-19 Reserve List

Cam Newton has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The first big Saturday surprise of this pandemic season is here. We have foreshadowed this situation for a while now and we knew Saturday temperature checks, COVID news would play a factor this season. Let’s hope this is a false positive, which we doubt it is.  We assume the NFL would confirm it as an actual positive before making a big announcement. Even if asymptomatic, there is no way for Newton to be cleared for Sunday's game. If he is experiencing symptoms he will likely miss Week 5 and beyond.
