The defeat before Kansas City Chiefs last Monday brought consequences for the New England Patriots, who in addition to having a record of two games won and two lost in the 2020 season of the National Football League (NFL), could not find the formula to replace your quarterback Cam Newton, which has Coronavirus.
The above due to the very low performance of the veteran Brian Hoyer, who was replaced during the game by the coach Bill Belichick, leaving its place to Jarrett Stidham who had better participation, but it was not enough to reverse the score.
For that reason, the Patriots are already decided. If Newton fails to arrive in optimal conditions to the game on Monday against Denver Broncos, the chosen one will be Stidham, 24, who if the news is confirmed will be his first meeting as a starter since 2019.
However, there is still hope of having your quarterback holder for this commitment, since according to Jason La Canfora, of the chain CBS Sports, Cam has participated in the last virtual sessions of the team and could see action this Monday.
If Cam Newton is unable to play this week, whenever the Patriots end up playing, Jarrett Stidham would be in line to start I’m hearing. Newton has been taking part in team zoom meetings.

For now, if Newton comes to play this Monday, there are two players who will not yet be part of the squad due to being infected with Coronavirus: the tackler Bill Murray and the cornerback Stephon Gilmore, in a squad that urgently needs to return to victories.
In his opening minutes of the season, Stidham managed five passes completed in 13 attempts, reaching a total of 60 yards and attending for un touchdown.
