FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he wasn't announcing a starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but if the portion of practice open to reporters Wednesday is any indication, he's turning to backup Bailey Zappe as the top option.
Zappe took multiple repetitions at the full-pads practice, then was followed by undrafted rookie Malik Cunningham, who is on the practice squad.
Starter Mac Jones didn't take any throws in the time that reporters were present, nor did practice squad quarterback Will Grier.
