Live blog: Patriots host Bears on Monday Night Football in Foxborough

Welcome to Week 7, where the Patriots are set to host the Chicago Bears at Gillette Stadium.

After missing the last three games with a high-ankle sprain, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is reportedly expected to start according to the Athletic’s Jeff Howe.

However, two hours prior to the game, there is no official word from the Patriots on whether the starting quarterback will be Jones or Bailey Zappe, who threw for over 300 yards in last week’s win against Detroit.

New England did not activate third-string quarterback Garrett Gilbert, which makes Jones and Zappe the only active quarterbacks on the Patriots roster tonight.
