Patriots reportedly re-sign QB Will Grier to practice squad three days after release

The Patriots are reportedly making yet another quarterback transaction this season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, New England is re-signing Will Grier to its practice squad. The news comes just three days after the team released him and signed offensive tackle Conor McDermott to the active roster in his place on Nov. 25.

Following Grier’s release, the Patriots opted to go without an emergency third quarterback during Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants. Both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe played under center in New England’s ninth loss of the year.

MassLive’s Chris Mason reported Monday that Grier would “be exploring his options” and that signing to the Patriots’ practice squad wasn’t a guarantee.
