FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots don't have any plans at this time to add a quarterback before the team's home game against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, and fellow ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder tweeted the following on Tuesday morning:
#Patriots still believe there's a chance Jimmy Garappolo can tolerate pain of AC joint sprain and start vs #Texans
