At one point this week, Mac Jones had no backups. Now, there are three quarterbacks behind the third-year signal caller in the Patriots organization.
The Patriots claimed quarterback Matt Corral off waivers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
Corral is a younger prospect, having been selected one round ahead of Bailey Zappe in the 2022 NFL Draft.
In fact, the Panthers traded up with the Patriots to select Corral in the third round, and New England used one of the picks they got in return to take Zappe. The Patriots also received a third-round pick in the deal, which they used to select Marte Mapu.
