Returns from COVID-19 list The Patriots activated Newton from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The transaction paves the way for Newton to resume practicing Thursday, thus putting him in line to start Sunday's game against the Broncos. Newton's status will be revisited again Thursday, as he could be listed as a limited participant on the Patriots' official injury report if the team intends to ease him back into workouts.

Likely to practice Thursday Newton (illness) is expected to rejoin the Patriots for practice Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact If that's the case, Newton -- who is currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list -- would presumably be on track to start Sunday's game against the Broncos. Meanwhile, Denver is slated to welcome starting quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) back to the mix this weekend. The two teams had been scheduled to play this past Monday in Week 5 before the NFL postponed the game to Week 6. New England didn't practice Wednesday, but the team has been cleared to reopen its facility after three straight days of no positive COVID-19 tests among Patriots players and staff.

Could play without testing negative Coach Bill Belichick said Monday that Newton (illness) could be eligible to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday even if he continues to test positive for COVID-19, Ryan Hannable...
Impact Newton is reportedly asymptomatic, and he would have to remain as such for any chance of returning Week 6. Per the NFL's current rules, now that 10 days have passed since his initial test, Newton could be eligible to return to the team as long as he continues not to show symptoms and is able to gain medical clearance. The Patriots and Broncos previously were scheduled to face off Monday, but the two teams will now play Sunday, Oct. 18, during what was once a bye week for New England. Of course, if Newton were to begin exhibiting any symptoms it would throw his availability for Week 6 in jeopardy. Belichick has yet to confirm whether Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer would start if Newton can't go, though Stidham looks like the current frontrunner.

Update: NFL Reschedules More Games
The NFL has made significant changes to the upcoming schedules for several teams. Here's the latest.OCTOBER 11, 2020
Still testing positive for COVID-19 Newton (illness) continued to test positive for COVID-19 late this past week and hasn't been cleared to rejoin the Patriots for workouts, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Before he's able to resume team activities, Newton must test negative two times at least 24 hours apart. Despite having yet to receive clearance, Newton still had what Glazer called an "outside chance" to play in the Patriots' game Monday against the Broncos, but that became a moot point after the NFL postponed the contest to Week 6 when New England nose tackle Byron Cowart tested positive for the coronavirus late Saturday. With the Patriots now set to host the Broncos on Oct. 18, Newton should have improved odds of clearing the COVID-19 protocol before the contest, but his status will remain worth monitoring in the days to come. Head coach Bill Belichick hasn't indicated who might start Week 6 if Newton isn't cleared to play, but Jarrett Stidham is widely believed to be the frontrunner for the nod over Brian Hoyer.

Denver meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6. Newton remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he could be ready to play by next Sunday if he tests negative for the coronavirus on two separate occasions at least 24 hours apart.

Won't practice Saturday Newton (COVID-19) will not practice Saturday, but coach Bill Belichick refused to answer who would start ahead of Monday's contest against the Broncos, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Impact Newton is reportedly asymptomatic since testing positive for COVID-19 a week ago, but he'll need to test negative multiple times before he's allowed to participate in team activities. The fact the Patriots still have multiple days before kickoff probably improves Newton's chances at playing, but with Belichick dancing around questions regarding the quarterback's status, the only basis of assumption comes off of Newton's lack of availability for Saturday's practice. Fantasy managers will want to pay close attention to any reports that might indicate a decision prior to Sunday, otherwise the most prudent approach would likely involve rostering Jarrett Stidham, who figures to open Week 5 as the starter after Brian Hoyer struggled during his stint in the role against the Chiefs last week.
