FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick didn't announce his starting quarterback for Sunday's road game against the New York Giants, and deflected when asked if he's made a decision behind the scenes.
"I've told all the players the same thing -- be ready to go. So hopefully they will be," Belichick said Tuesday morning.
Pressed on the topic during his first media availability of the week, Belichick added: "Will let you know on Sunday."
Belichick's remarks came a day after offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien hinted that the week of practice will determine if Belichick sticks with starter Mac Jones -- whom he benched late in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts -- or turns to top backup Bailey Zappe or No.
