Newton tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month and missed New England’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 5.
The Patriots and Broncos were initially slated to play this past Sunday but the NFL postponed the game as a precaution after New England cornerback Stephon Gilmore and defensive tackle Byron Cowart were diagnosed with the virus.
The team has since been reportedly cleared to reopen its facility after three straight days of no new positive virus tests.
