Report: Patriots expected to add quarterback Garrett Gilbert to practice squad

Report: Patriots expected to add quarterback Garrett Gilbert to practice squad
the winds of change here at Gillette Stadium Un fully intended. What *** game in Green bay. Let's start out just *** little bit talking about this quarterback position because there are not many of us myself included who thought Baileys Appy would come in after brian Hoyer went down with the concussion and would come in the game and play. I would use the word admirably more than just, respectively. Not amazingly. And now they're faced with *** situation down here in Gillette who is going to play quarterback on sunday against the Lions. Alright, we cannot get in the area where they might be bringing other quarterbacks in to try out. But I don't think that person would start anyway. It's going to depend on three things. Number one does Mac make an incredible jump with that ankle. If he does, they might consider playing him. Bill has said he doesn't necessarily want him at 75%. So if he's not 100% or close, we're not gonna see Mac and then there's brian Hoyer. What kind of recovery does he have from his concussion? The NFL is really looking closely at this right now, given all that has transpired with to untangle by low and then there's Bailey's Abby 10-1599 yards. Yes, he fumbled the football and they certainly didn't unleash him to throw. I think he's the odds on favorite right now to get the ball against the Lions again. This is monday we have six days until the game. We will see who's out there in those red jerseys. I'll be curious to see them at practice on Wednesday. I'm josh Brigadier. That's the one minute drill. Thanks for watching.
