The news comes after the Patriots had another player test positive for the virus on Friday.

As of Saturday, the Broncos-Patriots game will still go on as scheduled after the contest was moved around following other positive tests out of New England last week.

If players and/or staff members on either team test positive after the game, the league will be facing some serious backlash for allowing the two sides to compete this week.
