It seemed like the Patriots had pushed through their coronavirus concerns after Cam was the only guy to test positive and the game against the Chiefs was ultimately played.
Now, Gilmore reportedly has the virus, and the team isn’t going to practice Wednesday. This situation quickly did a 180 degree turn after looking just fine.

I’ve been a very moderate voice of reason during the entire pandemic, and I’ve encouraged people to remain calm.
While there might not be any reason to panic, there is definitely cause for concern at this point.
The Patriots now have a second issue on their hands, and it comes just days after the first one. It’s not good at all.

Let’s hope the team gets on top of this situation before the Sunday game against Denver is put at risk. The last thing we need is another postponement.
