This race, the longest of Newton’s season, gave the Patriots the ball on Denver’s seven-yard line. Two plays later, Newton jumped over the line of purpose from 1 meter.
However, the two-point conversion of New England failed, so it is still a two-point game.

Edge Rusher Bradley Chubb steamed Isaiah Wynn, who is now back in the same place as usual in the left shot, by a strip bag at Cam Newton. A spin would have given Denver ownership deep within the Patriots’ territory, but Mike Onwenu was able to grab the loose ball for New England.

The nature of Butler’s injury is unclear without delay, however, he has been disturbed by a shoulder challenge in recent weeks. Expect a more defensive end from Deatrich Wise if Butler can’t come back.

First quarter, 3 p. m. , 0-0: Patriots the first draw and postponed, will play first defensively.
12:38 p. m. : Some warm-up observations:
11:32 a. m. : Here are the inactive Patriots of the day:
– Jarrett Stidham is the Patriots’ new quarterback.
– JJ Taylor sits down after being active but betting a little in the fourth week. The Patriots will travel with Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead in the offensive half.
– Dalton Keene is a healthy zero for the third consecutive game. The third-round pick in the draft has not yet made its NFL debut.
– Carl Davis joined the Patriots this week (he signed with the Jaguars practice team) and has not yet practiced with the team. No wonder he’s inactive.
New England will light up with 3 active defensive tackles, adding the call of practice partner Nick Thurman, who takes the position of Byron Cowart (reserve list / COVID-19).
– Receiver Julian Edelman, isaiah Wynn’s offensive version and Adam Butler’s defensive version are active after being classified as questionable.
– Wideout Jakobi Meyers returns to the lineup after sitting like a healthy scratch opposite Kansas City. New England has six active outings today: Edelman, Damiere Byrd, N’Keal Harry, Gunner Olszewski, Meyers and promoted organization Isaiah Zuber.
– Un recruited rookie outdoor supporter Rashod Berry is active for the first time after being increased from the practice team as a COVID-19 replacement.
Berry most often played a tight finish at Ohio State, however, the Patriots have used it in defense since the start of the education camp. He’ll take Derek Rivers’ position as a reserve broker.
– Offensive lineman Caleb Benenoch is on the list for the first time after being promoted to the practice team. The veteran has given the impression in 35 NFL games, adding 16 right guard openings for Tampa Bay in 2018, but this will be the first. he’ll wear a Patriots uniform.
– Here are the inactive Denvers, many of whom had already been confirmed:
10:58 a. m. : With Cam Newton returning from the reserve list / COVID-19, Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer will probably be inactive today.
From what we’ve noticed so far, Hoyer turns out to be the highest likely candidate.
Hoyer began opposing the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, but was sent to the bench by Stidham in the third quarter. None of the quarterbacks were too impressive: each committed two ball losses and Stidham finished only five out of thirteen passes, but Hoyer’s two red passes Zone mistakes were unforgivable, especially for a player with his experience.
The Patriots also have corner Stephon Gilmore back after a COVID-related absence. Thanks to the postponement, Gilmore ended up without missing a game after coming back positive two weeks ago.
10:35 a. m. : We’ll be watching the Patriots’ offensive line largely in the pre-game warm-ups.
With Shaq Mason and James Ferentz on the reserve list / COVID-19 and David Andrews still on the disabled reserve list, the Patriots will debut today with the O-line mix.
We may see sophomore Hjalte Froholdt making his first NFL start, center or guard, depending on where the Patriots need to field Joe Thuney. New England can also hit Jermaine Eluemunor and stay with Justin Herron at right tackle, keeping Froholdt on the bench.
Froholdt has to play an offensive game in a regular season game.
Isaiah Wynn’s left shot is also questionable due to a calf injury. A lot of uncertainty for this unit, which has inspired what’s going on in the season.
9 a. m. ET: Greetings from Gillette Stadium, where the New England Patriots will (finally) receive the Denver Broncos this afternoon.
The game was originally scheduled for last Sunday, but postponed twice after several Patriots players tested positive for COVID-19.
Three other New England players, the offensive part Sony Michel, guard Shaq Mason and foreign supporter Derek Rivers, landed on the reserve list /COVID-19 on Saturday afternoon, but that did not lead to a third rescheduling.
The Patriots’ defensive take on Byron Cowart and backup lineman James Ferentz are also on the reserve / COVID-19 list and will not be available today.
New England summoned an endorsement of the practice team, lifting receiver Isaiah Zuber, defensive takeover of Nick Thurman, outside supporter Rashod Berry and offensive lineman Caleb Benenoch for today’s game.
The Broncos have no players on the COVID list, their offensive partbacks did not make the move after testing positive on Saturday, but they have ruled the tight ending Noah Fant, the offensive part Melvin Gordon, the open receiver KJ Hamler and the supporter Jeremiah Attaochu.
Denver Quarterback Drew Lock, who is expected to play after missing the last two games for a shoulder injury, will have to rely heavily on runner Phillip Lindsay and Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick opposed to a Patriots defensive that yielded only 19 points.
