Stop us if you've heard this before, but the status of the New England Patriots' game against the Denver Broncos is in doubt.
The Patriots canceled practice Friday after at least one more positive COVID-19 test, per multiple reports. At the moment, though, their Week 6 game against the Broncos is still on for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero.
New England and Denver were supposed to play on Monday night of Week 5 but had to reschedule last Sunday after Patriots defensive tackle Byron Cowart tested positive for COVID-19.

Curran: Are we nearing a COVID-19 breaking point?
While the Patriots and Broncos playing three days after more positive COVID-19 tests seems risky, Denver is still preparing to travel to Foxboro this weekend, per ABC7's Troy Renck and ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Broncos have reported no positive tests and already reshuffled their schedule, so it makes sense why they'd want to play Sunday rather than jump through more schedule hoops.
Of course, schedule challenges should take a back seat to the health and safety of players, coaches and their families. But the NFL has yet to discuss any contingency plans for Sunday's game, per Schefter, so it appears they're currently relying on wishful thinking.
