The New England Patriots made their signing of quarterback Will Grier official on Friday. Despite Grier being with the team for just mere hours, he will already be in the team’s plans for Week 3.
Speaking Friday morning, head Coach Bill Belichick confirmed that Grier will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback on Sunday.
“Yeah. That’s it,” Belichick responded when asked if Grier will be the Patriots’ emergency quarterback.
The rule is new for the NFL this season, allowing teams to have a third quarterback (that resides on the 53-man roster) dress and not count as part of the game day active roster.
