Albert Breer of MMQB reported that the team learned of the test Saturday night.
Detail on the Patriots' situation …
• The one positive test was a player.
• Team got word late last night, so no one went in this AM.
• Pats did everything outside yesterday, out of caution.
• Meetings were held on a practice field.
• Today's walkthrough was canceled.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) October 11, 2020
The facility was closed throughout the week after cornerback Stephon Gilmore and practice squad player Bill Murray tested positive for COVID-19. Those positives came in the days after quarterback Cam Newton’s positive test, which forced him to miss the team’s game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Players and coaches worked remotely during the week until they were able to return to practice on Saturday. The team was scheduled for a Sunday walkthrough at Gillette Stadium before news of the latest positive test.
The team’s game against Denver was initially scheduled for Sunday before the league moved it to Monday night. No decision has been announced by the NFL if it will be moved again.
