He was infected with the coronavirus early in the season, missing one game and forcing the N.F.L. Last season, his first in New England, Newton’s ups and downs were emblematic of the league’s struggles to play during the pandemic. “I really appreciate all the love and support during this time but I must say … please don’t feel sorry for me!! I’m good,” Newton wrote. Not long after he was released, Newton thanked his fans in a statement posted on his Instagram account. “Certainly, he started at a much higher point than what he did last year, so definitely moving in the right direction.” “I feel like everybody’s way ahead of where they were last year,” Coach Bill Belichick said of Newton on Tuesday, hours before news of his release surfaced. His absence enabled Jones to take more first-team snaps. But he missed three days of practice last week because of what the team said was a “misunderstanding” related to Covid-19 protocols after a team-approved medical appointment out of the area. Newton, 32, started all three of New England’s preseason games, including Sunday’s preseason finale at the Giants, in which he played two series. Newton’s release was first reported by The Boston Globe.

The move allows the rookie Mac Jones, who excelled in camp and the preseason, to start in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. The Patriots cut Newton, the N.F.L.’s most valuable player in 2015, as they began paring their roster to the league-mandated 53 players before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. After entering training camp as New England’s starting quarterback, Cam Newton didn’t just lose that job on Tuesday - he lost his roster spot, too.
