ORIGINAL STORY: Clear your Monday night schedule, Patriots fans.

New England reportedly will play in Kansas City against the Chiefs on Monday night barring any additional positive COVID-19 cases, according to multiple reports. The Week 4 game was postponed from Sunday, its original date, after Cam Newton and Jordan Ta’amu (Chiefs practice squad quarterback) returned positive tests early in the weekend. Both teams reportedly have returned all negative tests since.

So, when will the Patriots and Chiefs kick off?

Patriots players were told to prepare for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.

Patriots' players were told in their team meeting if they play on Monday, kickoff would be at 7:00pm per sources.

However, The Washington Post’s Mark Maske offered something a bit more vague, only reporting the game would take place sometime before the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers’ scheduled 8:15 p.m. start time.

Here’s his report:

If Chiefs and Patriots play Monday, the game would be expected to be played before the Falcons-Packers play on "Monday Night Football" on ESPN. CBS would have Chiefs-Patriots but it's not clear yet if that would be a national broadcast.

The Patriots’ current plan reportedly is to fly to Kansas City on Monday morning, something the NFL typically does not allow.
