New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick did not say if quarterback Mac Jones was healthy enough to suit up on Sunday, but he did reveal his backup plans.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Belichick confirmed that 14-year veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer would be under center against the Green Bay Packers if Jones cannot go.
“He knows [the offense] better than anybody, from an experience standpoint,” Belichick said. “This year is this year, but Brian’s had a lot of experience; he’s been in a lot of systems. Seen a lot of football, taken a lot of snaps for us in various capacities.
