The New England Patriots formally dominated quarterback Mac Jones out for Sunday’s recreation towards the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
Longtime backup Brian Hoyer is predicted to start out rather than the injured Jones, who suffered a high-ankle sprain within the Patriots’ 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens final week.
Jones was damage after being hit by Ravens defensive finish Calais Campbell late within the fourth quarter. The second-year quarterback was seen hopping off the sector and visibly in ache as he was being helped into the Patriots’ locker room.
Hoyer will get his first begin since Week 4 of the 2020 NFL season when he began rather than quarterback Cam Newton, who was on the COVID record. Hoyer had 130 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception in a 26-10 loss to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. Final season, he noticed motion in 5 video games, throwing for a complete of 227 yards and a landing.
When requested about his quarterback’s damage Wednesday, Patriots head coach Invoice Belichick gave imprecise solutions in regards to the damage. In a press convention paying homage to the “On to Cincinnati” one in 2014, Belichick stated the Patriots are taking the damage “day-to-day,” saying that phrase in every of his solutions about Jones’ damage.
“Daily. We’ll consider him day-to-day. What distinction does it make to me? Do you suppose I’m going to learn the MRI? That’s not my job,” Belichick stated, clearly aggravated on the questions.
The Patriots’ long-time coach stated “day-to-day” 12 instances within the press convention.
New England’s recreation towards Inexperienced Bay will kick off from Lambeau Discipline at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
