FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday that backup quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday at Green Bay if Mac Jones is unavailable.
Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in last Sunday’s 37-26 loss to the Ravens and is reportedly seeking a second opinion on his best treatment option. Typically, the recovery period for a high ankle sprain ranges from four to six weeks. Jones did not appear at the start of practice Wednesday.
Before practice, Belichick answered all questions about Jones’ injury and status by describing them as “day by day.” In his opening statement, Belichick claimed Jones has “made a lot of progress here in the last, whatever, 48 hours.”
