Four days after suffering a concussion, New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer has now been sent to injured reserve. The move was listed on the NFL transactions wire on Thursday.
Hoyer, 36, originally entered the season as the Patriots’ No. 2 at the quarterback position behind starter Mac Jones. With Jones sustaining a high ankle sprain in Week 3 against Baltimore, however, he was pushed into the starting lineup for the contest against Green Bay the following week.
Hoyer’s stint as the starter lasted but two series. After going 5-for-6 for 37 yards, he was sacked on his 15th snap of the day and subsequently removed from the game.
