Cam Newton, who had COVID last season, isn't vaccinated, has a COVID 'misunderstanding' and now is away from the team for the rest of this week. It really makes no sense because this is when he's fighting for his job harder than he's ever had to. Jason Smith and Bucky Brooks are rooting for Cam to succeed in New England but you can't help someone who won't help themselves. He put his starting job at risk and now the Patriots are game-planning around Mac Jones for their final preseason game.
