NFL Rumors: Some Patriots Players ‘Under The Weather’ Despite Negative Tests

New England thus far has had three players test positive for COVID-19

Want another reason to worry about the Patriots?

As you likely heard, cornerback Stephon Gilmore on Tuesday reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, joining quarterback Cam Newton and practice squad defensive lineman Bill Murray as New England’s only players confirmed to have contracted SARS-CoV-2.

Shortly after the news broke Wednesday, CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported that, despite negative tests, multiple Patriots players currently are feeling “under the weather.”

Here’s his report:

First of all, La Canfora is no Adam Schefter or Ian Rapoport. His success rate when it comes to NFL reporting is questionable at best.

What do you think?  Leave a comment.

Furthermore, feeling “under the weather” hardly indicates the presence of COVID-19 — the common cold still is a thing.

Nevertheless, all eyes will be on the Patriots and their test results in the coming days.
