Patriots quarterback Mac Jones told reporters Wednesday that he is planning to start Sunday’s game against the Giants.
“Hope so. I mean, that’s the plan,” Jones said. “I always work really hard for that. I really put a lot of attention and detail into the the week.”
Neither Bill O’Brien nor Bill Belichick have confirmed whether Jones will be the starter. Jones acknowledged that the coaches will decide whether he plays. But, his comments on Wednesday suggest that he is preparing as if he will be the starter.
“A lot of that decision-making is things I can’t control, but I can control my attitude and my effort like I talked about,” Jones said.
