Mac Jones could be playing for his job Sunday.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the New England Patriots quarterback will be "on a short leash" during Sunday's contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rapoport noted it remains to be seen whether Bailey Zappe, Will Grier or perhaps even rookie Malik Cunningham would play if Jones was benched.
While Cunningham doesn't have any regular-season experience at the NFL level, Rapoport reported "there is a package in for the speedster—if the team chooses to use it."
